Can't you just use the stock Dodge frame and convert it to Cummins and put a 4x4 front on it?

no i do not have the crew frame anymore and since the ford is allready 4x4 (and i to lazy to convert 4x4) i will strech the frame on the ford.
i would strech the 1st gen dodge frame but mine is a short frame 6 inch and the ford frame is 9 inch which i have frame peices to strech it with. the fords also ride better than the 1st gens,
i am now also thinking, i might try a 9 foot box

haven't done much to it, other than i know which truck i'm using for a donor now, my white truck will be the one since i want a crew cab with some power and if i use the blue truck as the donor i would have to buy to many parts abd then would still drive the white truck because i like it.

and the blue truck is in better shape than the white one.
