Yes,I did just exactly that. Had an 85 Ford 3/4 ton diesel 4x4. The box,fenders and doors were shot,but it only had 160,000 miles on it. Driving past the junkyard one day,saw one just like it with a nice factory flatbed. Bought it,ordered a set of dual adapters from JC Whitney. Used two tires and wheels from the junkyard truck to make the duals. Disassembled the springs and beefed them up from 4 leaves to 6. Had one good fender and door,bought the other ones new. Went to TSC and bought Ford blue tractor paint,the truck had been 2 tone blue. Repainted the bed black. Turned out super sharp. Only drawback,but hasn't really been an issue is that it has 3/4 ton brakes,but the diesels were heavy duty anyway.Wish I had a pic to post. I have for all intent and purposes a 1 ton diesel dually 4x4 flatbed with a 4 speed trans for less than $3000. If I wreck this one,I'd build another one.
