Just my $.02

You might be on to something there , I was thinking about doing that with the chevy frame but never crossed my mind with the ford frame . I kinda hate the front ends on fords though . But the frame is in good shape and its got a 9 inch rear not sure of gear ratio . The main reason we stopped plowing with the truck is it only had one wheel brake , but it only needs lines and to be blead out . Thanks for throwing the idea out there .
