    frame

     



    Jerry - I did not realize you did not have a frame. I would try to locate an original frame first. If you are still going to go forward on a frame swap, I'd look at the mid 80's Malibu(116" wheelbase) or El Camino frame(118") wheelbase). This suspention rides extremely well.
    The frame will be too wide so you have to straighten out the rails from just behind the front suspension to just forward of the rear suspention. I've used this frame twice(41 Ford conv't & a 66 Rolls Royce)
    If you proceed in this direction let me know & I'll try to walk you thru it.
    Several other frame to look at: Chev Blazer(might not have the trk kick up) & the Dodge DakotaI've heard of theses being used but, have not seen one.
