Help Me Lost .......Body Swap

So you have a single cab Long box and want to put a extended cab and short box on your frame?????Would it not be easier to find and extended cab short box with a blown engine and swap your drivetrain to it????????

You can chop the back, alot of offroaders do it to give a better approch/departure angle. i personally would say take the extra time and chop the front looks nicer. it gives it the full size sport trac look.
