Re: 1955 frame swap ?

Hang on to the wedge motor, thats worth a few dollars. Most of the frame swaps done when mounting a completely differant style and shape cab onto a frame from a newer year will require some fab work for supports and brackets. I have a '71 SWB 4X4 that would work for a switch like that, it would just take some thinking, fabbing and welding to make it work. I'm sure more people will add to this, your project is very do-able so don't give up on your vision.
