w150 frame

[SAndreasen]

what would the diffrence be between a 1974 farm and a 1992 w250 frame could the drivetrain be swapped from the 250 to the 150 ?

Yes you can swap it over and some will tell you frame isn't strong enough but it's been done lot's of time it will hold up just fine unless your going to be jumping it or something like that

The 3/4 ton trucks have a thicker (roughly 1/4" thick instead of 3/16") and/or bigger C channel (about 7" vs. 6") frame. Spring eye bolts and other suspension parts are larger on heavier duty trucks also. You can make the drivetrain swap, however. If you are swapping the Cummins diesel engine, you may have trouble getting the engine mounts to fit the frame because the pad height is different. If two wheel drive, note that the half ton front suspension is not rated over 3300 pounds vs. the 4000 lb. front end used with the diesel. With four wheel drive, the Cummins uses heavier springs and bigger diameter spring eye bolts to the frame brackets.

Thanks for the replys guys I'm not sure what I will end up doing found the half ton truck. And it's cheap and it's an extended cab which I really like so I guess we will see sure would beat tryin to fix up the body and interior on the 92
