Not sure but to me something looks a little different than mine. I had a different trans cross member. Here's a pic of my 46.

here's a pic of the my 46 frame after I stripped out the Pacer front end the PO boggered into it.

only good pics i found were on ebay and my frame does seem to be the 47-53 a/d design. im going to do some measuring and see what it will take to use with my 41 cab. i have not found any info about putting the art deco truck on the advance design frame.

after measuring it looks like everything will bolt to the frame except the rear body mount (frame is 1" too wide). wheelbase is within an inch so thats good.

im going to get the interior mocked up and a front ifs ready before i set the tub and front on the frame. so it will be a while

I did a 45 body on a 52 1 1/2 ton frame the only big issue i had was making bumper brackets. The frame was a little wider at front, a 1/2ton frame may not be a problem or if your not going to have a stock bumper.
