Before you shorten a truck into a tractor find out what the wheel base of the short truck will be and see if the correct steering arms for the spindles are available for the new wheel base.
The last Ford I did offered 3 different steering arms Depending on the length of the wheel base. The reason for this is Shortening or lengthening a wheelbase Changes the Ackerman Angle and can cause poor steering and bad tire scrubbing if the steering arms are not correct.
You will also have to have a Tractor protection and a hand valve plumbed into your air system to be a tractor.
I am of the opinion if you already own the truck and convert it. It may be worth The cost to have it done. Or if you just cannot find a tractor and need to change one.
But If there are tractors available go with a factory built tractor to avoid the Wheelbase Change. You probably will be money ahead.
