Re: subframe question

I've seen several TF truck bodies sitting on 73/mid 80's 3/4 ton chassis in this area over the years. That was a fairly common swap in this area back in the 90's usually after someone rolled his square body in the hills.

I just flat don't see the productivity of cobbling frames together for this particular truck. All you seem to think about is scabbing something together because you think it is a cheaper way and that is hard to place any sort of wisdom with.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
