    oc, I was figuring measuring the wheelbase on the 37 and comparing to some modern pickups such as ranger, s10 and maybe even dakota and see what is available. Not sure if any of them are close, but figured it was a start.

    On my 37 I made a 2x4" frame from a template from the origional and then boxed it. As far as usuable frames I have a friend who used a early dakota frame amd have heard of using a s-10 but can't say for sure if the s-10 will work w/o cutting.
    Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

    Not sure about a '37 Chevy, but I saw a really sweet '40 Ford pickup in Ponca City that sits on a Chevy S10 chassis. It fit real nice, and the guy said it drives like a new S10 and was pretty much a drop on with some new body mounts welded on.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
