    What’s up you guys!

    First off, it might be a while before this comes to fruition. I don’t have much cash readily available at the moment so I’m buying everything I need in pieces as opposed to all at once.

    My problem is I can’t weld, and even if I could I don’t think I’d be up to do this swap because I’m the type of person that will weld things 2inches off and make the truck look like it can steer from the rear haha.

    So I’d like to hire someone to help me out with this. Ideally someone with experience doing this swap.. I live in SoCal, but don’t mind driving to The neighboring states like Arizona, Nevada, maybe Utah..

    Again this won’t happen for some time, but I would say within the year of 2019. I’m just trying to see if there’s even anyone out there that can help me out and I’m also trying to gauge the cost of labor
