So here are my thoughts:
1 - I can sell the Dodge and buy a 2nd Gen extended cab
2 - I can sell the Dodge and buy a '95-'00 Ford crew cab F250/350
3 - I can have someone build me a 1st Gen conversion.
Option 3 is my preferred option as I love my old school truck. My problem is that I do not have the time, facility, resources, etc. to do the conversion myself. I'm hesitant to bring it to a body shop because, quite frankly, they usually have little to no experience in the eccentricities of 1st Gen trucks such as where to look fro rust, repairing cowl cracks, etc. What I'd like to know is, is there anyone out there who does (or would be willing to do) these conversions on a commercial basis? Or, if not, does anyone want to sell me their conversion?
