f100 to f250

[Hunter17]

I have just found a 1970 f100 i have always liked this body style, but have wanted something that is heavier. I am just wondering how hard it would be to switch it to 3/4 to springs and axles.

'Not very hard... it's just a drivetrain, suspension, & brake swap.

I'd just look for a complete F250..it's not like these trucks are rare.

I just paid $800 for a '70 F250 2wd, with a dead drive line and good sheet metal. I'm going to put the sheet metal on a 4x4, then sell the rest. I doubt you are willing to wait 3 or 4 years for a frame.

ok, i was just wondering because i have found many f250s but their are not in very good shape. But then i found a f100 that had good sheet metal and mint interior if was thinking about changing it to a f250

Isn't the frame different too? I was under the impression that the F250 frame was made of thicker steel.

it is. if you want a real f250 put your body on a f250 chassis,
