Hi all,
I've got a 77 F250 highboy 4x4 that has been through too many PA winters and I'm looking at a 1979 F150 2x4 to do a body swap with. I've read that my truck has a narrower frame, being the highboy, but I've never been able to confirm this. What sort of problems am I looking at for swaping a 79 150 body onto a 77 250 frame and running gear? Also, would a F100 work or are there going to be other differences as well?
Sorry for the basic questions, but I don't really know much about my truck, never really had to do much on it before.
Thanks
