Put all your '93 stuff in the Crew cab chassis, Other wise you have to stretch the frame of your '93

If it doesn't run I'd offer $500. She has probably been bugging him to get the thing out of the yard.

You want to put a crewcab on your regular cab pickup??? You'd have room for a lil 2 foot flat bed. Be best to do what Winr said. $500 sounds high unless its got a good body and no rust for a non runner.

Better measure first. Or park next to the huge crewcab. 16' truck vs. 21.5' truck.

I pd 750 for mine. Orig owner wanted 1500, which is about what a clean solid roller is worth, I worked it where his nagging wife was there when I counteroffered w/800 in 20's in plain view. If this guy is into Mopars/Trucks, it will insult him to offer 500, if there just a regular family 500 would be a godsend to get that hard to park, gas sucking embarresment to the neighborhood out of the driveway.

Just another thought. If you look for/find a cab make sure it's a '82 or newer. The '82 to '93s have the same heater box opening . Other than '72-'74 having the fuel tank behind the rear seat and the cabs are the same .

Wish i had a pict. to show you, put a crew cab on standard frame , took original box and shortened it by cutting the front off and re frabrecating . looked good because the change was suttle. and looked original. draw it out and you will get the idea, its not that dificult a change.

Looks like that would be pretty nice, as long as you're hauling more people than cargo or plan to tow.
