4x4 question

[6722]

I have a 61 on a 78 4x4 frame.
The body is just about shot, very rusty. I'm wondering if it would be better to put another body on the 78 frame or try to find a original 60 to 63 4x4. Seems like the original 4x4 would be pretty costly. Might be easier for find a decent body to replace the rusty one?

Thanks for any ideas you guys may have........

I would try to find a 60-63 if you are going to restore it. It will be worth more than the converted one on the '78 frame. You can find some that are priced pretty low if you are patient and are willing to travel.

if the body is shot, why would you want to put it on an original frame? get another body for the 4x4 frame, sell the 61 parts that are useable.
