Frame Swap ? 65 body on a 67-72 frame

[67Mach1]

Is there any chance that a you could use a bare 67-72 frame for a body swap for a 65?

My frined has backed away from using hte 85 frame and now might want to try to use on of my 67-72 SWB frames.

Any chance it might be a direct swap? Or at least a more direct swap than an 85 frame? Has anyone done this?

I think it might still be a PITA. Why do you want to swap the whole frame?

His sort bed frame is bent,

His long bed frame is bent,

So he either fixes the short frame, or fixes and shortens the long frame.

Or he uses my 86 Short Frame or on of my 67-72 short frames.

Sounds like the least issues is to fix the short frame he has. right now estimated at about 300 bucks on a frame machine.

He will swap over my 86 front parts and even a rear end from one of the my trucks to upgrade the brakes.

I think you will have more than $300 worth of trouble swapping everything to a newer frame rather than fixing the shortbed frame you already have. That's the route I would go, and use the parts off of the 86 to upgrade the brakes.
