Not really sure what your asking. Do you mean like a suspension kit or body patch panels? Some more specifics would be appreciated.

I am sure there is but why would you use a dirty word like Durango around a Ford site. ;-)

Sorry, I have not seen anyone who makes a "New" kit, but I have seen people selling the parts from an original to make one. Tho, thats far and few between.

There is no kit available, If you want one, you need to find one and build it, There are a lot of special one off pieces for the rear of the car. These cars are hard to find and pieces are even harder to find.

Subjects like this always intrigue me and if the OP is a REAL good worker with his hands, the finished work really looks nice.
If it was me, (and please remember that it is not) buy yourself a Ranchero. It will have the same eye-appeal, most likely have a V8 already installed, (which a pickup needs) and all parts will have a factory finish. With that being said, if the OP does this project, please post pix.
