Anyone else using an Explorer frame?

I bought my 49 without a frame with plans to put it on a modern chassis. Got to looking at options and decided that other than being a Ford, the explorer frame was the best option. Get 4 wheel disc brakes, strong 8.8" rear, R&P steering tucked out of the way and easy to adjust torsion bar front suspension. I have the cab mounted and the all the mounts for front sheet metal and bumper done. Still a lot to do but looks good so far. Just wondering if anyone else has done this. This picture is prior to trimming the excess frame off that is sticking out from the fenders. I'll post some more pictures later if anyone is interested.
