Changing the entire body from my 95 to one from a 2000.
I tried to put the wheels off the 00 on my 95 and no go on the rear.
I read that the break drums are smaller in dia on the later trucks. Can I put the entire brake assembly (backing plate, brakes, drum) off the 00 on my 95?

Next, How big a tire can I run with just a 2.5" front leveling kit?
Thinking about 17" wheels w/ 35" tires. Possible?

I am also going to put a 5spd in place of the auto. I am going to sell the stock auto with all the coolers/lines if anyone is interested.
Trans works fine I just don't like the way the converter acts. It seems to be just like all the others I have driven. Doesn't slip any more or less. Locks up fine.
All the stock lines were upgraded with new lines from Dodge.
If anyone needs interior parts from the 00 pm me.
No Dash of course, It disintegrated like they all seem to do. I do have ***** and switches, speedo-man shift, steering colum, both airbags, and a few other things.
pm me if you need something I might have and I will look and see.
Body donor truck is a 00 3/4 to 2wd gasser man-shift.
Hope I am not breaking forum rules by posting this stuff but most of the stuff like interior parts I will give away if some one will pay shipping.

Thanks.
Dan.
