Rolling Frame
I have a 72 long wheel base, discs, arms, from CO, minimal surface rust, that could be used as well. You need to get wheelbase dimensions from a book such as 50 Years of Chevrolet or such and get the specs on wheelbase and overall, then pick the frame that is exact, or is closest. The rear frame rails you can shorten, same with a little of the front frame horns, but you need the wheelbase of what you have before you should go further.
My opinion, but might save some grief. After that, see what truck frames might work with the wheelbase dimensions. You might also look at your body mounts and make a drawing of location front to rear, off the center line of the body side to side, and also "pick an elevation of the mounts" and see if there are major vertical dimensions you may have to deal with. Hope this helps. My rolling will be parted out shorty. Drop me an email or PM. Good luck with your project. LILREDGMC |
