Re: 63 chevy frame swap questions

Installing a '60-'66 body onto a '73-'87 frame is NOT a bolt on deal. There will be a fair amount of fabricating of new body mount brackets and you will end up with about a 3" body lift.....Been there done that. Before doing any frame swap you will want to check with your local DMV and see what is required to make such a swap legal in your state. This is due to the frame and cab having a different VIN. IMO if you want a 4x4 just keep the original frame and install the 4x4 running gear under it. It isn't any more work than a complete frame swap, with better results and less headache.
