Their was nothing wrong with his post; (other than the block paragraph) He said what he has, and what he has the ability to get done. He just needed some help filling in the blanks...

The 88's body was toast and it was only a single cab truck. My main issue is that the 85 is a 2wheel drive truck and I need some help putting the axles and leaf springs on it from the 88. I have been told it can be done but I really dont know where to start. The rear I am not worried about at all but the front I have been told can be tricky. I am pretty mechanical having worked at a shop for about 6 years so I know my way around a vehicle and I have a friend who is a mechanical engineer and whose dad used to do custom automotive fabrication so I have some help but I was just wondering if you guys had any input on what I should do. I know there are some kits out there for swapping the D60 into an F150 I was just wondering if you guys had anything that could help or could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance guys.

Kirby, why is it you feel you can be a jerk when you want, but quote the rules from a mod to try to get Nick in trouble? This is what pisses people off and make them give you crap! Try a little consistancy! I was told to lay off you, but posts like that make it hard to do.

Just sayin...

Sorry Karl. Had I caught his post earlier, it would have been deleted. Unfortunately, here at work I have a hard time keeping up with everything.

Thank you for keeping your cool, I know its very hard to do sometimes.
