I have decided for sure to swap the body on my 57 D100 to a dakota. I went back and forth about doing the front clip or the whole frame but decided to go with the complete swap. I think this will make it easier in the long run keeping the drive train lined up and not having to make more mods outside or the body mounts and transmission tunnel. The thing I need help with is year choice for the donor truck, I have found an 88 and 98 for close to the same price and I know with the mid 90's model it has the 6 lug and I would loose a good deal of bed space. Is this going to be the same on each year or would the older frame have less rise in the rear of the frame. Thanks in advance guys.
