I like it. A front mount winch would probably interfere but I'm betting it can be engineered to be removable easy enough. Luckily I'm young enough that working on a truck this high doesn't scare me. Especially up on 16r20's. Just gotta build a hoist to pull under to lift the heavy stuff. I've...

I thought that was the answer but I don't like assuming anything. Once I gather all my pieces for this Frankenstein project I'll either need to build a hoist next to my garage or convince the wife I need an 816 too :whistle:

Good to know. Not to sound too much like an FNG but by cab tubs you mean?

You and I are on the same page. Either a 923 or a 931, sell the body and find an 813, 814, 818 etc cab/nose. I'd like to put a 8' drop side bed behind the crew cab. I bet I could even keep the steering column and shift tower from the 923 and make it work in the 813 :hammer:

Yes a stick would be great but my wife will use the truck to pull the horse trailer too. So I want to keep it "user friendly". That's also the reason for the crew cab. I've been figuring out a plan for ultimate sound deadening to go along with the stereo and possibly Super Duty seats.

I guess sometimes living outside the US has it's perks. Anybody think I'll have a problem fitting the 8.3 with an intercooler under the hood of the 813? From the pictures it looks more narrow in the nose that a 923. Thinking about it though, since it fits the 855, I don't think I'll have an issue.

Looks like I have some gathering to do. I am contemplating a Crew Cab upgrade for the 813 too. This site is gonna get me in trouble with the Wife. Do you think it would be easier to just swap the sheetmetal over from the 813 to the 923 (for example) instead of changing out the running gear in...

I used the advanced search on here and looked through every thread I could find on this so if I missed it I apologize. But has anyone dropped in an 8.3/auto out of a 939 series into their 813 or the like? I like the look of the 813 but the engine/trans from the later models. Seems like it...
