Thank you for the reply. I guess I will make what I have work. It is not too bad besides the spring mounts that were made up in the ugliest way possible. Just bought the truck last Friday and I have the bed and cab off. Body is quite nice and no rust at all. Even has the glove box behind the drivers seat and overdrive. Sorry to say it has a Ford 170 six in it that I will be pulling tomorrow.

: I believe the FC150 narrow track and early
