Here is my '57. It sits like this with a Jag XJ6 front crossmember and SS6 bags and out back is a torque arm setup from a 4th gen Camaro and 2500 bags. The rear has a very mild 2" c-notch. I did not want to raise the bed floor at all, because I race motorcycles and will use this to haul them and my gear. I succeeded in getting it this low without raising the bed floor.
I will be building a new frame out of 2x4 .190" tubing that will have the Jag IFS as well as a Jag IRS out back. That setup should allow me to lay the body down because the smaller frame will essentially be a 2" body drop and the IRS will allow the wheels to come up higher than the center section, allowing for a stock bed floor.
