Re: 1971/72 frame under a 54

I've seen a couple of them cobbled together over the years as 4x4 trucks and it somewhat fits but you have wheels way to heck and gone outside the wheel wells.

Even with the two wheel drive chassis most wheels are going to stick outside the fenders in the best Wyoming redneck cowboy fashion.

There is the I did it cheap with junk I had thing and there is the I spent the money to build a nice truck that looks really great thing but cheap chassis swaps and great looks don't usually go together too often.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
