Well im going to go look at a crew cab tonight. Im thinking about doing a conversion with my 89 being the donor. What do i need to look for on the crewcab? Besides rust on the roof by the drip rail on the windshield. Thanks.

I went and looked at the crew. It is a d350 longbed. How hard will it be to swap the 4wd parts from my 89 to the 83 to make it 4wd. Thanks.
