hi! I came over from the 67-72 message board, I need to know what you 47-55 pickup guru's could tell me about what type of newer frame I can put under a 49 chev p/u, I was thinking of up grading all the drive train and suspension, then it hit me, why not just set the body on a newer frame with disc brakes and newer running gear? the reason I ask is I got a line on a original 5 window 49 untouched, and was just wondering what my options are, love theses trucks, thanks for any advice you can give
