That's too bad. What happened?

Wrecked first gen drivelines do make good candidates for conversion, if you want to pursue that route...

Smoky,
Sorry to hear that I hit a deer in SE WI about 4 years back in my 95 F150. Not fun. I hear there is mor deer now in the US, than when the the Pilgrams came here during the 16th century.

If the damage is all above frame level and if the cab isn't damaged, you may want to rebuild. If it got the frame, you may want to use it as a donor.

If you want to build a crew cab, I know where there was a 4-door over near Stigler. PM me if you're interested or if you decide to sell. I'm north of you near Okmulgee.

sorry yall but I don't have a camera, it looks to me that the entire front clip is totalled along with the doors, the only things salvageable under the hood is the motor block and the turbo, it does not look like it got frame, but I did find an '89 single cab, 2 wheel drive, dually, with a 5 speed tranny, and 200,000 miles,for $2000, it looks to have a pretty straight body and motor, do yall think it would be better/cheaper to rebuild or to get the '89?

if you've got the money grab the 89 while you figure out what to do with the 91. as said above it's a great canidate for conversion. take your time and maybe look for an older 4 door cab or something.
