So I found a 85 crew cab 2wd in need of a little tlc for decent money. Since there was a 85 crew 4wd (with a bad motor) on govliquidation that sold for $3k, and I can pick up this 2wd for about half that, is it worth converting? Or should I just hold out for a 4wd and not worry about it? I know there are a few guys on tdr that have done this, but has anybody on here done it? Am I correct in assuming that it is, for the most part, a bolt in? Or is it a ton of fab work?
A few years ago this truck was in a tornado and a barn fell on it. The hood and both front fenders need replaced. Not a problem. However, the roof skin is wrinkled. It's mainly on the front half of the cab, toward the passenger side. How in the heck would a guy go about fixing that? You guys ever fix/replace a skin? I could grab some pics since they would describe way better than I can. TIA
