bump...I'm curious as well.

From the little research I've done it doesn't look like the frame mods needed to avoid cutting the cab and step bed would be much work.

you wouldn't happen to have a link to that eBay ad? I'd like to see how much the frame interferes with the body.

Re: Caprice frame swap

Email the guy that makes it. He should have pictures that he can email you. He had emailed me some pics of the Full Size Pickup Kit and a contact of a guy in my area that had done it.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
