Good potential donor chassis. 230k 4x4 6.0 Chevy 4x4 truck. Probably needs trans.

I still like that 13’ flatbed 4x4 with plow I posted earlier, but 3rd/4th gen engine and way cheaper.... I really do want a Brolite-sized bed and dually though. Looked over its pics again and it’s bed is rotten as fuck. Likely doesn’t mean good things for inner frame and frame horns. Probably looks a lot like my plow truck. Boo

I spent a lot of time in an 87 and 91 Ford 250s. I wouldn’t mind that generation vehicle’s driving experience at all. But common engine platform sure is nice for working on things.

In the already long frame market there are a lot of really overpriced fords and a lot of diesels. I’d rather go gas for plow abuse and for sake of sitting. I did see one duramax part out that seemed interesting last night. I don’t know a thing about those though. I think it didn’t have a trans in it? Seems potentially annoying or expensive to source.

cab swap to "fix" it.

You have Ford D60 housing on your rack, use outers from the dodge D60 (from dumpbus) to convert it to 4wd (with t-case swap of some kind).

if you do the cab swap.... soup up the 460 by to delete all of EFI with better flowing heads, intake manifold and top it off with carb, to simplify on electronics' side during the swap lol

Cheap Cummins saw message but didn’t reply.

This guy says frame has no holes but is scaly.  Would look if it were close but I bet it’s bad. Priced right

I’ve determined in a few days of hunting why I’m quick to buy. I don’t really like shopping around that much. I think looking for a donor truck might make be batty. The 2500/3500 longest wheelbase 4x4 is tough to find cheap. So many extended cab short bed trucks out there.
