Went and saw my doctor today for script refills. While I was there, she looked in my ears and throat. She told me that the Lime Away incident got me started with a sinus infection. So she threw me on Amoxicillin before it gets worse. Kinda weird but one dose in, it already feels like it's starting to get better.

Opinion needed
Look at this first

Possible intention,
Buy junk for was less than they want. Remove rusty as crap cab and bed and send to scrapper. Install bed and cab from my truck. Swap computer and any other things needed for swap.
End result is have a truck that can carry / tow more than a weeks worth of groceries.
Question is what is the chance the frame/ drive train is worthy of reuse when the rest of the truck is so poor?

Link no worky ^^^
But I 've been in the same situation with the 98. Requires too much ambition for me. If the truck was a 70's model, I'd have what it takes mentally,,,but not a gen 10.

But I wouldn't do it unless you planned to do something radical to the drive train. IMO, that's the real limiting factor on our trucks.

How about a re-start on your post noobs..
Anyway...I'd have to say no...unless there was more to it. Like say you bent the frame in your current truck...or it broke in two.
If it's perfectly fine ...I wouldn't.
