club cab to crew cab
Hey guys,

I did a search on this,but didn't really come up with any answers.I am sure this has been asked before,but I must not be typing in the right key words for the search.My question is regarding a swap to a crew cab.I was wondering if the frame mounting points,and overall length of a club cab with 8' bed was the same as a crew cab with the 6.5' bed?If so would I be able to just put a crew cab body on my club cab,nad use a short bed?Would the frame from my 92 clubcab be any stronger than say an 85 crew cab short bed?If the frame mounts are different for what ever reason on a crew cab,would I be better lengthening the crew cab frame,changing mount points,or is it just better,and easier to use the crew cab as a whole,and drop the drivetrain from my 92 in it?I know these are some questions out of left field,and I bet they have been covered before,but please bear with me here.My wife is expecting our second child,and my club cab isn't going to be fun to fit 2 car seats in.I would love a new truck,maybe even a mega cab,but I don't have that kind of money.I could probably swing a gasser right now with the good deals they are giving,but I will miss my Cummins.My 92 has 231K miles on it now,but it runs great,and I think it has plenty of life left(knock on wood),plus it is paid for.Thanks in advance.
