Frame swap
Is there a frame out there that I can swap under my new 55 chevy without to much trouble to make it a modern style ride and reliablility.

There's a company that makes new frames for 55 to 57 Chevys but they are repros of the original. If it wasn't a good frame to begin with they wouldn't be reproducing it.
If you rebuild the front end and add disc brakes you'll have a good riding and handling car. The 55 is built better than most "modern style" cars and never had a problem with reliability.
Keep your frame. It's the only one that fits a 55 Chevy. It's easier to bolt on new parts than to replace the frame. It won't be worth much with the wrong frame under it." Im gone'
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
