frame swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hare56g · 12-02-2004, 05:40 PM

I'm an owner of a 56 GMC SWB and need help. Due to the previous owners stupidity and mother nature the front of my frame needed to be removed 3" in front of the forward cab mounts. My problem is that I would like to replace the frame instead of a new clip. I would ideally like a to go 4wd but I need help knowing what would be the best replacment with the least amount of modifying (67-72?). I have already tried to use an 89 frame that now is taking up space. I haven't had much luck locating an origional frame nearby (michigan). I would really enjoy any ideas that anybody has. I am currently set up with a 350/400 no TC yet. Thanks.
