Hey guys, I need some advise as to which way to go with my swap here. Im about to purchace a 93 1/2 ton 4wd shortbed with a bad 318, the body is in great shape. I also have an early 91 w250 that the body is more/less shot, has a horrible front end wobble to it too. Now what im asking is with doing all of this outside with only a small garage neither truck will fit in, which would be easier, i know they'll both be a pain. Swap the cummins into the half ton with keeping the 5 bolt axles, or possibly swapping the 8 bolt axles if needed, or swap the cab onto the 3/4 frame? If i go with swappin the cummins i know ill have to deal with core support, wiring harness, fuel tank and lines, some other details and probably a crossmember. Or deal with trying to swap a cab, having no bed after all is said and done and the truck had sat in a field for about 3 years or so in a field so im sure ill find more problems with the chassis. I dont really haul much or plan on sled pulling, more/less a fun daily driver, so having a longer wheel base doesnt matter to me.
Any imput at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
