Re: Frame Swap on a 57 GMC
Use the original unless it is unusable. It is much easier you wont have to fab mounts and make stuff fit right.

I used a MII on my truck with 2 in drop spindles and lowered it quite a bit

Re: Frame Swap on a 57 GMC
as others have said, its ALOT easier to just change the suspension to lower the frame, then to change the whole frame.
