Working on a 1984 Shortbed stepside 4x4 and if i could find a nice clean 4x4 frame then i could prep and paint get everything done to make the change over faster.

I bought a frame that had a Ramcharger rear tank installed and came with a stepside bed, 77 cab with VIN, two wheel drive with disc brakes. It had been cleaned and painted then left under pine trees outside for a couple years.

Thanks You may need the forward bed mounts. The tend to be different on a stepside.
