Good Sunday,
I’m Currently looking at swapping out my father’s frame on his 98 Ram 1500. This frame is rusted to sheet and he is now not driving it, even bought a Chevrolet in its place lol.
So I feel the need and desire honestly to swap this 98 frame with another frame. The question I have is, has anyone done this, would it be more cost effective to just buy another 98 to 2002 Ram 1500 that isn’t in running condition and replace with his parts (Good parts/motor/trans/axel). Furthermore what would be the cost of doing either. Frame swap vs buying cheap and replacing everything on it with his parts?
Thanks and really appreciate any assistance/input before moving forward on this project.
