[QUOTE="justinlogue5_0, post: 1523234, member: 7635"] I have a 99 with a still stout drive train but the body is full of rust again. It was fixed several years ago after a wreck I had (was rear-ended) and I didn't really want to do all the body work again. Recently I bought me a very low mileage 2002 and am giving the 99 to my son for his first vehicle. He has already been driving it for a year now waiting to turn 16. Now he is 16 so its his but I still have the rust issue. I have NO use for a 6.0 (If you like them great, I am not trying to be mean or dis them, just not my cup of tea as they say) so I am interested in finding a newer truck for him and swap every thing over for reliability and low cost maintenance. I would have everything I need off of the 99 to go into the newer truck. Motor, 6 speed hand shaker, wiring etc...even exhaust, everything needed. I hope someone who has already done it (like your local guy) could give me some advice on what I need to look out for, issues that could come up etc... I am assuming all the tranny and motor mounts should line up between the new motors? If not, nothing a little bit of welding couldn't handle. My sister works at a bank that sometimes has repo's come in that would be perfect for this or sometimes you find them cheap on craigslist because the motor is blown and the owner is done with the truck and wants it out of their way. I could hopefully get a nice truck cheap, spend a couple months doing all the labor and then my son would have a nice newer truck. I might even get another Father of the year coffee mug out of this deal, LOL [/QUOTE]
