Chevy 1 ton flatbed to Ford 3/4 ton?

Okay let me explain a little,Ive got an 87 f250 and ive been looking for a good ol iron flatbed to put on itWell i found one that fits my price except that it belonged to a chevy 3500 1 ton1st off i know the beams wont line up so ill have to do some cutting and weldingAre there any other problems i might encounter while doing this?Where to put the fuel tank and how to plumb it?Does anyone know what the frame measurements on a 3500 chevy would be? Or even my f250?Thanks for the advise!- Ghost

Answer:

He probably doesn't need oneHorses grow thick winter coats that are built to withstand cold.
Well if he is inside all the time then I don't see why he would need one but I would say there are these ones that i got for my horse for the winter for after riding and she sweats a little so I got these fuzzy ones like a fleece blanket and it soaks up sweat with the comfort of the nice warm fleece which would be nice for him because its not to hot for the stableI hope this helps good Luck
HERE is what you do with this large projectYou open the door to your garage with the overhead crane to hold two beds for two trucks then you take then bed of the project truck and do all your measurnents with the full shop full of tools you needMark them down so you know where the weld points are supposed to beThen drag the chevy out from under that bed and push or drive the ford into the space under the chevy bedYou have to measure and then build all of the welding points from the ford to the chevy with your welding torches it will take days to do this by yourself but will be a lot faster with a crew of 4 or 5 guys Im not trying to be funny you are talking about a ton of work ( no pun intended) you need to find the right bed for the right truck or you will have to build one yourselfand without a shop full of expensive equipment its not going to happen.
