Re: Questions

I agree 110%

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to scare the new guy off. I am not a fan of the '60-'62 frames at all. That X-member always seems to be in the way. I would even consider a '67-'72 frame and make the few modifications necessary to use it under a '60-'66. And as I always say when switching a frame, make sure you are following the laws in your state regarding switching a frame under a truck.
