    Can I put 3100 front end parts on my 3600 to convert it to 6 lug?

    Yes, as long as you bolt up a complete front axle.

    welcome nice rig

    I am fairly new to the forum and find these guys very helpful. Welcome. I like the green color of your truck I hope to paint mine green.

    I've painted the hood white, but need to set it in place to mark the line for the yellow part. Son's in law will be here Thanksgiving, and I plan to ask them to help me set it, mark it, and remove so I can finish the paint scheme. Thanks to all for the compliments. It's looking pretty nice, if I do say so myself. Inside, I still have to rebuild the seat, install seat belts (with shoulder harness), headliner, and trim. Also side windows and door trim. Then it's on to the bed. Making progress is a real incentive to do more. All your encouragement helps a lot too. Thanks again.

    If you need used parts, like trim strips and grilles, contact DeadZoneTrucking, here on this forum as he has a lot of that stuff.

    All depends on condition/equipment installed.

    Got pictures?

    I actually wanted the long bed. My son wants to haul his bike with the gate up.
