If you have the original frame it is more acceptable to use it & change the suspension.
Frame swaps are more difficult to pull off. If you are trying to save money you wil not because the finished car will probably be worth less & you will have to have more skill & time to do it.
You can weld in a junk yard Must II & use modern leaf springs for the rear(Crysler products stayed w/leafs the longest) .....look at the Crysler 5th ave, Dodge diplomat.
If you do not have the original frame there are some frames that can be modified & I have done this but , i would not do it if I had the origial frame.Last edited by Don Meyer; 03-17-2004 at 05:55 PM.

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
