What thickness is the metal that is on the truck now. You probably don't want to add more weight then it already had.

2 WD or 4WD? I have a 2WD frame (SD NO Salt) off of 1987 Reg cab D50 that's in Central SD. I need to get rid of it "cheap" or it goes for scrap! It seems to be the same as a 4WD until you get to the front suspension that's different then a 4X4 of course. It's in great shape I needed the body/rear axle off of it.
I just reframed a D50 4X4 with a nice frame out of ID that I found on car-parts.com shipping was more then the frame!
I can email you pic if you like.

Looked the 2 frames over side by side and the only things I could off hand were the leaf spring mounts were taller on the 4X4, the 4X4 had bottom out brackets for the rear end housing and the cross member for the auto and manual trans are different. Once you get in front of the middle cab mount the real changes begin.
