Semi-Controlled rage
For example my 67 build, there is a alot of thing i want to do that i think id be better off buying a new, wrecked, truck and bolting the body to that frame.
Things my 67 f250 doesnt have that i want. More gears, power steering, power brakes, a/c. I think if it were 4wd that would be cool too.
All the emotional attachment is to the body, the way it looks.
Id like to use it haul a rv, a gasser and np435 in the mountains isnt going to be fun.
I played around with the idea of diesel swapping it, but then i would just be left with everything else like getting power steering and disc brakes means i need all the suspension off a 73-79 f250
I think i could spend 2k on a wrecked 98-03 (preferbly 99-01) 7.3 f250 and gain everything i want in a better form for considerably less. zf6 4wd has a/c etc etc. Aftermarket suspension support.
Witha donor truck i could possible even move over the hvac box and have a/c. Major things to adapt...steering foot controls? obviously it just wouldnt bolt straight up but making body mounts inst that bad.
thoughts?
