just don't ask dumb questions, or at least questions that "self-described" experts would consider dumb. search, search and search lest you be walking the plank... oh, and don't show any elder member up, if you become a member, they get even more riled when a 'newb' knows something they don't.

Its not hard to do. Just cut off the front bed mount. Carefully take of the rear cab mount and weld that where the bedmount was. You'll have to give it a 1.5" body lift at least to clear the regular cab gas tank and the frame crossmember above the t-case. Just check out the pics of my truck to see the finished product. It is well worth the effort.
