73 Ford Hi-boy conversion

Greetings all!!!

I'm soooo excited!!

Just bought my 73 Ford HI-boy and am looking for anyone out there that has done a conversion on this era Ford truck. I understand that I'm going to have to modify my front cross-member a bit.

Any other tips?

I found a gem and I'm happier than a pig in poo.
