65 Psd?
 
Ok bumping this around for a project I have a 65 2wd.f-100 thinking of putting it on a 78 f-250 4x4 frame (I know that part has been done befor)then useing a 7.3 PDS for the power plant I am guessing about 2yrs. for my time frame cause I don't know how much fab.work there will be with the PDS drive train.do I sound nuts for thinking this up,my wife thinks I am.

I have had it for over 20yrs it was restored in 88 and I have taken good care of her.so as far as body work its just swaping the body over to the new drive train.she will kill me for the powerstroke price tag.my wife that is.to many parts sitting around and big idea's in my head.

Even if you did the swap and left the 390 4spd that would be Cool as well!

I have almost enough parts to do a 428 4x4.man more stuff to think about.

I struggle with the Same thing! Not knowing which way to go with my truck
I have a Complete 289 for my 65 But sence it is Original 120,000 truck I'm afraid to hurt the Value! and I like the 240 3 spd just fine...

why try to mate up 3 trucks...why not just take the 65 and put the body on the PSD frame? i bet it would be a lot less work that way.....but i like how you think!
