I have a m1078 and am brainstorming ideas for a basic box on the back. I like that the m1079 van bodies are stout, well insulated and (in theory) would be a fairly simple swap with the flatbed. Is there anyone out there who can take a quick look at their 1079 subframe and give me an idea as to how hard it would be to remove... specifically the front/cab end (pics would be awesome!). My main question is, would it be easier to make the swap from the subframe up or to keep subframes in place on both trucks and just transfer the box??? Option two would require me to modify my 1078 subframe with the springs taken from the 1079 for a stock like mount. Without having a 1079 to look at I was assuming it would be straightforward, but I could be wrong. Any insight would be a huge help. Thanks guys!
PS- selling my truck and buying a 1079 is also an option, however, I've bonded with my truck and would rather not start over with something new. Plus it's an A1 (love) and I just haven't seen very many A1 m1079's around.
