What is wrong with the original frame?

You can take everything off the 73-87 and pretty much bolt it to the original frame, then you won't have to deal with all of this mess.
There is nothing wrong with an original 67-72 K20 frame. But I have modified my 78 K20 frame so much, that it would be more work to transfer everything over to the 67-72 frame than just swapping the body.
Problem is, on my truck, basically NOTHING is stock or original..that makes it difficult.
