Re: what would i need.

chassis tub

rear bulkhead
rear arm mounts

Don't know what your money situation is but they have been showing up lately on ebay in the $125 range...haven't been selling either. The owners all seem to think the buyers market for these are really high since they don't wanna do any lowering of price either

Re: what would i need.
I'm afraid I'd have to agree with scr8p on this one.
By the time you buy all the stuff that makes it different, you will have more in it than what you could buy one for.
I'm bored at work right now so here goes. You will need:
F/R A-arms
F/R shock towers
F/R body mounts
F/R shocks
F/R swaybars
F bumper
F chassis plate
F bulkhead
R hubs
R dogbones & axles
Shorter turnbuckles
Wheels & tires
Body
Of course, if you simply want the challenge of converting your truck to DS, then it's not impossible. Just won't be cheap. Parts are still out there, just gotta dig a little.
