I'm selling it because my son is playing travel baseball and we end up going away for a lot of weekends and long distance tournaments so I'm in the market for a 35-37' motorhome.

I retired in 06 and just now have gotten busy at real work, of course I retired at 38 yrs young, that's what I get for a 20 yr stint in the Army.
I work a year overseas and take a year off, lots of project time but am working my **** off doing other money making gigs, go figure.
Damn nice truck ranger429!!!!

Yeah you are right about that. Heck I'm 34 and I can hardly do anything on my truck because the wife is always after me about spending to much time! I told her I have to spend sometime on it or I cant get anything done.

I'm to lasy to read the past 1K plus comments but was wondering if anyone could help me with alittle future project!
I looking for info on taking a 74/75 crewcab and placing the cab onto a LWB Highboy chassis; What's the differences on the cab mount location and I assume I would beable to use a short bed on the Highboy chassis?
Any comments or thoughts would be appericated!
I recently place a 76 F150 complete body onto a 74 Highboy chassis; only challenge was; relocating the front cab mount & redrilling back cab mount thru frame, drilling new holes in bed floor; and F150 fuel tank, was my hick-ups.
Just wondering about cab & bed bolting issues; is there a rise in the frame change I need to be concern with?
Thanks

A LWB Highboy frame is 133 inch wheel base...a crewcab shortbed frame is a 150 inch wheel base....you will either have to stretch the frame or have a super super short bed....most people use a super cab 4x4 frame to do it...but it still requires a bit of fabrication work....good luck!!
