Got another 12v!!!

[NELSON359]

Finally got another 2nd Gen 12v, it has 137k miles 4x4 cab and chassis! Plans to completely restore it and make it like new and use it for my lawn care business. Need some help with some things, I was told the rear on the cab and chassis trucks are narrower and I want to swap rears with one that has disc breaks. Want the wider axle anyways so the rear tires arnt so tucked up under the bed. Below are some pictures when I got it and how it is now.

Yessir. Still going to repaint it dark green like my old 95 I had. Should be a fun project once I get started, plan on doing frame off restoration

I kinda dig the hot-shot setup though. Those tool boxes would be so nice to have at times.

I’m putting 48” long under body boxes on the flat bed for my chemical storage

Appears to be in awesome condition for a work truck!
Ive always been curious of frame strength differences on a 2nd gen C&C vs a pickup.
I have a 97 3500 box delete pickup with a Dynamic wrecker body and auto loader wheel lift that I use for vehicles around my yard. Previous owner broke the frame in half just behind the rear of the cab. Ive also got a 94 2500 parts truck that appears to have had the same failure, but from hauling HEAVY gooseneck trailers.
Anyone know if the chassis cabs have that same issue? And yes, obviously anything can be broken if pushed hard enough...
