so i started off with a 1970 f-100 shortbox 2 wd. no motor or tranny but i got a 460 and c6 in the deal. well after a short time i procured a 1979 f-150 4x4 shortbox with a built 429, np435 4 speed, 205 t-case, 1/2 ton with a 4" lift. so here goes the body swap process...

starting to strip the 79. i decided to strip the frame and paint it. i also opted to undercoat the body of the 70 before i set it back on the frame.
