Sweet! I too like the sleeper style, but I dont think you would be able to do this conversion without metal fab work. You can buy all the adapters, plates, etc. but I am pretty sure you would still have to do atleast some metal fab or hire someone to do it for ya. I do admit I am a bit rusty on my welding skills with my dads stick welder, but I plan to do the welding on things like the floor, rad support, etc. The only part I will not weld myself are motor mounts or tranny mounts, but most if not all other things are going to be done by me. Because I do not trust myself to do the welder work on the only frame I got and screw it up. If you have 0 fab experience, go to your shop and get some fab experience. It is not something your gonna nail off the bat. I guarentee it. Buuuuuuuttttttttttt, you can still do this if you put some effort in learning and giving it a try and alot of determination.
When I told my friends at school i was going to buy a pickup bed trailer of my own with my own cash at 12 years old, most thought i was just trying to impress them. 3 months later, I was pulling one home from a flea market with $100 less than i left with. Now, at 14, I bought another one a couple weeks ago for $40 from my neighbor AND I still have my pickup bed trailer!! I am going to buy another pickup bed trailer and an antique sign for a 100 bucks from a buddy before the end of august to resell and I think I should get about $350 with about $100 worth of materials to add on to it to get my price. I am just saying this because I wanted to tell people that not everyone around you is in control of what you can and can't do. Good luck to ya!!!!
