Okay, I'm in a pickle...
This is a really stupid situation. I already want a new truck. I really dig my k2500...but my biggest beef is that frame! It's puny! I know its pretty strong, but it just gives me so many evil thoughts whenever I look at a new HD. It would probably be foolish to switch it up, the only reason I want an HD is for the beefier frame...
So, do you guys think I should go with a new one in a year or so or just go with what I have? I prefer the OBS cab, and they are super reliable.
If I keep what I have, I'm going to eventually do a disk conversion on the 14ff, and possibly an SFA. Would also beef up the frame (particularly the rear section)
Willys, I know you have alot more experience with these trucks then myself...How do you feel about the stock frame?
One other option I was thinking of is this:
Get a 2500hd frame, d60 front, and 11.5 14ff w/ disk and start building that. maybe put a 6.0 in there as well, and eventually, swap my '97 cab over. Like I said, the only real reason I'm thinking I want a new HD is for the frame. The 350 vortec is a great motor and I might just stick with that and this truck....
Just need some opinions here.
