1966 f250 project

I recently picked up a 66 f250 with a 300 6cyl, 4 speed and 4.10 Dana 60. It runs like a dream, drives like crap, but has a pretty solid body for being an Illinois truck. This will be a slow build, but I'm in no hurry anyways. I am debating on swapping it to a 1/2 ton daily driver, or swapping the body over to a 79 f150 4x4 frame with a 351m/4 speed combo. First step will be some body work, then decide on the chassis. I am open to suggestions so please, voice your opinions:)
Sorry, can't get any pictures to upload...

Look forward to seeing some pics.

Welcome aboard,
I'd leave it as is, like the bigger trucks
Looks like 19.5" wheels.
But do as you wish, it is yours, lots of opinions here, you found an excellent site.
Most of us like big pics, but you can 'adjust' them in photobucket.

Looks as if you are right on the wheels, Steve. Wonder how the smaller fender openings came about?

That '58 two door "post" looks like a duplicate of one in my past, except for the center bumper bar.

The 58 is my current daily driver. I swapped a 302/aod into it for my 60 mile round trip to work every day. As for the 66, I'm going to just finish up a few odds and ends and start driving it daily I think. I would like to find a bed, either style (although I have a soft spot for the wrong bed).
