1957 Chevy truck 4x4?
Hello, new to posting but have been searching the forum for awhile now. I just recently picked up a 57 long bed and a 59 shortbed parts truck. Would like to convert the 57 to a 4x4 and was thinking about going with a 73-87 4x4 shortbed chassis. Has anyone used the ez chassis swap kit for the 73-87 frame? Thanks for the help.

Hello and welcome. I've never heard of the EZ swap kit. Do you have any details?

The company is called ez chassis Swaps. There the ones that make the chassis kit that you can use a caprice chassis under a 55-59. They also have a s-10 kit for the AD too i beleive. Noticed when I was searching there website that they had a 73-87 kit and was wandering if anyone has one or has seen one done in real life.

The 73-87 wheelbase is longer for a shortbox (6') than the 55-59 frame. I am guessing that the longbox is the same. I am building a 4x4 from a 2wd 57 and I decided to use the frame and add drive train from a 79 shortbox 4x4. I used th original frame and I think it saves alot of work if you want a stock looking 4x4. just saying my 2 cents:chevy:
