I don't understand what is usable from the burnt truck. It sounds like the guy who needs his hammer rebuilt, but didn't have the old head or the old handle.

well just having a short bed frame and a vin and a title for it plus parts are everywhere in san antonio but I see where your coming from.Its more of a summer project and not the cheapest way to go about getting a short bed but if I keep ragging on my nnbs I'm gonna blow it up lol so I'm just throwing this one together for the track and shenanigans haha.

Little update I finally got a cab on there and only paid 375 for it complete,I also installed a fuel tank and evap system from the 02 I got the cab from also had to switch the ebcm and abs puno because the tail light and fuel pump harness that was burned up front was different so now I'm running a 02 fuel system and ebcm.Got all this for very cheap from s salvage yard here in san antonio I'm ready for a 5.3 4l60e from the same salvage yard for 1100 complete everything I need so that's coming next Friday can't wait who needs a front clip or bed right?
