Are you wanting a 2WD truck or eventually a 4x4?
If 4x4, just find a 1500 4x4 RC/SB frame. You'll thank me later. Ive got a rolling frame sitting next to my garage......

4wd conversion
Hey guys I have a 2002 duramax getting ready to do a 4wd conversion before too long, have all of parts just looking for passenger side bushings but other then that everything's all good to go. Figuring out the wiring at the moment I emailed Ben at BT diesel wasn't able to get the wiring harness...

4WD
Sorry, Best I can Find right now of a 2wd 1500 coil spring frame. That front crossmember is welded in and that's what holds the rack. The rear mounting points for the control arm are also different on the frame Vs. a Torsion bar frame.
I was able to get this guy to restore some of his 2wd Torsion Frame to AWD conversion images. There are some small differences but you can see how the torsion bar frame differs, especially in the lower control arm mounting area.

RWD to AWD Conversion Process
This how-to is going to address the process involved in taking a 2006 Silverado SS with Rear Wheel Drive and convert it to All Wheel Drive. I know, I can already hear you all asking me why anyone would ever do that. Well, everyone with an AWD wants a RWD and vice versa. The good news is that this...

Well. I bought a bed for it.
So now I guess I have to make a truck out of it

He was asking $600, we agreed on $500.
Got to see some lovely areas of the Detroit hoods.
For $500, I definitely don’t hate it.

I saw that one. Wasnt one side of it dented up?
Oh Detroit.
Been there once after dark. In the hood. Don’t care to ever go back.

Not really.
Lower skirting has some handling damage, wheel well arches are just showing a rust problem.
Inner wheel well are solid.
All the rails solid.
OEM paint, no one has been mucking around.
It will do nicely.

Seller was actually very cool. Just an extremely sketchy area. Sketchy enough where I had crossed this off as a viable candidate.
Then my grandson reached out. His best friend needed a CCSB LLY hauled to a shop 30 miles east of where this bed was. (Grandma’s speed shop?) Supposedly a reputable place, but it was warranty work this thing was going back for. FICM.
Well, the trailer would already be on the truck, I had him and his friend to help carry it. So it worked out.

Drug more junk home yesterday.
$700 gets a nice cab and passenger door.
Extremely solid cab (needs driver floor and a little work on the driver rocker). This cab has the cruise control module, something the other one did not.
Both gas tank cross members. Well basically every frame crossmember from the cab back. Yes, the rear ones are different between the 1/2- and 3/4-ton trucks, but it's an old plow truck. Plus, it will get a gooseneck turnover ball hitch plate, so that will add a bit of structure back in the rear of the frame.
And it has a title.
Most likely use the fuel tank from this one, it's in way better condition.
The sell everything else off of this. They were converting it to a cat eye truck, so I have that crap listed for sale, things like the rack and pinion, rear diff etc. Broom all of it.

Well, IIRC, you did get a replacement drivers side floor pan and rockers with the original truck, AND youve got one white door already...
Yes, the red truck came with pans, rockers and cab corner. And the driver's door is white. Should'nt take too much to get a solid cab on it.
This is snowballing quickly. 
Oh, and dont forget the "new" pewter box!
If I find a cure for this deasease I will let you know.
So far, the only thing I know for sure is excessive bourbon isn't it.
But seriously, I would have paid a grand for that in the blink of an eye.
Headed to KY this weekend, the only remaining items I need are front fenders and a tailgate. Southern KY or northern TN, hopefully there are some rust-free ones. Then this turd gets a whole new body.
Glad to know I’m not the only one trying to cure it with bourbon consumption.
We’ll call the Kentucky trip a success.
$250 for a tailgate/ LH / RH fenders and a center flip up jump seat.
Not perfect condition, but zero rust.
Not bad seeing as how the list of repairs required at my MIL’s place was much longer than I was lead to believe.
