I have a 76 W200 crew cab. The frame is straight and rust free, as is the cab. I also have 93 4x4 auto diesel. It is pretty junky, the frame is bent the cab is rusted and the trans is shot. My intention is to transform the 76 into a 93 crew cab, using the 76 frame, and cab with the 93 drivetrain and interior. Here are the questions I have right now.
There is a new 4-6" lift on the 76 should I keep the springs (I think superlift w/ new fronts, add a leafs and blocks in the rear)? I am going to run 35" tires.
Will front fenders from 93 line up with the door lines on the 76, i'm thinking no, but have not really looked at the two trucks side by side?
The two steering systems are different, should I move everything from the 93 frame to the 76 frame, or build my own crossover system with the 93 box?
Should I beef the frame in any way before moving the 93 parts over?
Is it worth it to move the dash/interior over?
Short of the trans being cooked the 93 will run and drive, I am thinking of rebuilding the trans so I can drive the 93, and then redoing any other driveline parts that are showing wear (axle/trans case seals, bearings, steering components etc) before moving it over. Any other suggestions, or anyone want to buy all this stuff and do it themselves
?
Thanks
