Hardly any rust - very clean. Was originally looking for a regular bed apache ...... but wife likes the hearse look ...... and great for camping/road trips with the dogs ------ same front clip - so I was sold. Kinda unique too.
I spoke with Steve a little more at industrial chassis and think I will go this route (as of now). I like the "idea" of a frame swap ..... rather than welding and cutting into frame, but steves kit with the design seems better bang for the buck - $750 for the kit, $500 should cover a front axle and any parts I need.
So what do we think for the rear ??
E015475 - what LS and what transmission ? What tips do you have on the swap regarding biggest hurdles or lessons learned ?
The Jag Idea is great - I know you can use the jag IFS up front only too similar to the dakota. If I was going to do JUST a frame or suspension swap I would possibly look into this ...... but STeves kit seems godo value to have good brakes/steering and IFS up front. LEts me spend a few weeks doing that and move onto Rear .... and then engine/trans.
