Oh yeah! It's sounding better and better. Very nice work on the raptor liner. I've used it a few times with good luck. I plan to do the entire bottom of my 40 with it.

I just picked up a 1956 3800 that I plan to take the body and put it on a newer frame of some sort for my wife. I'll have to do some research what frames work good under these.

Yeah I done the bottom of the cab and interior floors with the raptor liner, so easy to use you can't go wrong.

I don't know anything about complete frame swaps, I install clips or aftermarket IFS.

I need to look at how large the frame is on this truck. But it is a 3800 and has at least a 10' bed. I'm guessing finding a 1/2 or 3/4 ton frame won't be easy that's why I guessed a frame swap may be easier. Once I get it home and out of the weeds I can get a better idea about it.

That DD cluster looks great!
