Here's the plan...

I finally picked up the 79 F250 that I got for free. Its got D60s front and rear. I was going to strip them and throw them under my 79 Bronco but I also have an extra 70 crewcab laying out back. So I think I'm going to put the crew cab on the 79 f250 frame, cut the bed to fit, and that will be the wheelin truck for now. Does anyone know how the older cab and front clip will fit on the 79 frame? Also I got measuring and the front and rear springs on the 79 look real similar except the rears have a lot more arch. Can I use some rear springs on the front to get some lift? The plan is to do a dropped hanger on the front, shackle flip on the rear with some block, and maybe a couple inches of body lift to get the cab mounted.
