Anyone done a Half-Ton swap ???
I have aquired a mint-looking very low mileage Half-Ton Dodge Ram 1997 year...
I was thinking about swapping my Cummins 5.9 into it and therefore i will be getting a short-bed truck with a 12valve
Is the frame a issue ??? i will without a doubt swap axles as well... !!!

i actually put a 97 half ton ext cab short bed on my 94 reg cab long bed frame. had the swap done in 4 days. and i worked at my job for 2 of them during the day. with doing that i had to install a 3 inch body lift because the cab would have hit the sending unit on the tank. you do have to move the axel back exactly 4 inches.. but with the lift you do not have to move that right away. only people that know trucks will ever notice. ..i have mine completely finished and love it.. you would have to move some body mounts but no big deal.. OOhh. i almost forgot you do need to extend your body mounts because the frames are wider starting in 97 i do believe but youll get it.
