Swap a Swepty body to a Lifestyle frame???
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2017 9:09 pm
Found a 1978 D150 LWB rolling frame in Fort Worth recently. Drove down there and hauled it home. My thoughts had been doing the front frame graft of the disc-brake/power steering-equipped '78 to the back half of my '68 D100. Tried looking with "search" but it wasn't much help. So, has anyone ever taken a complete Sweptline body and swapped it to a '72 - '93 Dodge frame??? I know I've read about such a swap a few years back, but can't find the thread. The '78 frame is pretty nice! It's a 4x2, with pdb, ps, and a 9-1/4" Sure-Grip axle. The e-brake front cable was cut when the truck was parted out. Other than that, all of the attachments; such as brake lines, fuel lines and much of the chassis wiring is present and undamaged.
So, any ideas or direct knowledge about such a build?
