Re: Whos done it?
I'm looking for a 4x4 crew.
There not so easy to find here. If the drivetrain and running gear are good, it's well worth $1500 Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Whos done it?
That is an awsome price, the 454 and Dana 60 front are worth that.

Re: Whos done it?
ghettoluxury is definately right... You could easily make your money back on the rig just in parts, so I wouldn't be to worried about the price.

Re: Whos done it?
I did it. Check my build thread in my sig. There is a TON of info on here from a few that have done it. Take some time and find some threads. They will either make you believe you can do it, of scare the crap out of you
 I dove right in and busted out the sawzall after a couple weeks of checking out how others had done it. Good luck
