Hey bambam, look in the latest issue of 4 wheel and off road, or off road, one of those. They featured a truck, which I believe was around a '77, give or take a couple of years. The guy put a '97 powerstroke in it, and most of the running gear, and the truck went from regular cab to extended cab. It is a big green truck you can't miss it. The article said he did everything himself but the paint. So I think it answers your question.
