We are discussing it, I am putting my opinion in the discussion. I do see your point and have felt the same thing when I posted most every time like it's all about ME. But I just want to get the info out there for others thinking about this HUGE modification to their truck. The subject as been made so "matter a fact" like it HAS to be done or something, I see it on forums all over. I have seen people ask it about other cars too. On another forum I visit a newbe came on asking what frame to "swap" under is 36 Ford sedan! A 1936 Ford sedan he is looking to put some S10 frame or something under it! OMG, it is just crazy how far this has gone.

I see these "swaps" at the swap meets half done looking like crap and they have gave up on it. I also have seen a few that looked damn good and it was a good choice. One was a 40ish Chevy pickup with a Toyota frame under it, damn near looked like it was made for it.

Just trying to get info out there so people don't take is THE WAY to build one of these trucks.
