frame swap - 61/76

[bill9000]

Hey everyone, I am in process of building a street hot rod type 2wd out of my 61 chevy...

so the situation is, the 61 is a 2wd longbed that's been sitting in a field for over 30 years, and I have decided to do something with it... the body is decent, nothing I cant handle fixing... but here's where my question comes in to play...

I absolutely need it to be a shortbed, so I had looked into shortening the frame at a local frame shop and they can do it for about $600... but then for my purposes (not original in anyway) - I also must have disc brakes and I'd like to have power steering too... so by the time I do those things to this one... it's gonna get pricey quick...

then I had this idea.... I have found a mid 70's chevy shortbed 2wd truck thats conveniently already lowered... and has a rough body... my intent is to put my body on that frame, and I'll instantly have disc brakes, power steering, and already be a shortbed...

my question for y'all is, any real huge problems with this that I am possibly not seeing?

not interested in purists saying not to do it, I'm a hot rod guy, not a "fix it stock" guy

thanks in advance for any thoughts!
