I am looking at getting one of these trucks soon. 1984 chevy 4 door dually or a 1988 ford f-150 extended cab.
I noticed that on the chevrolet the dually outer rear wheels line up with the front instead of the inside. Is this a chassis truck? How difficult is an axle swap on this and changing it to a single rear wheel truck with new axles. There are a lot more chevy donor trucks in my area, and I was thinking I could sell the flat bed but not if its an awkward size.
My question is, is it a ridiculous process to switch out the axles and bed on the chevy, or should I spring for the ford which just needs a new rear gas tank?
Both are the same price. (I will be using this for my 3 mile daily commute most likely) Both are missing a window on the drivers door.
