58 Apache build

Hey guys looking for some opinions I have a 58 chevy Apache sitting on a 76 blazer frame that has been cut and welded. I want to put a cummins in it but the frame worries me so my question is I have another chevy frame that i could put a cummins in and swap the body over or just buy a dodge truck and just swap the body over to the dodge frame. I think using the chevy frame would be easier seeing how the body is already on a chevy frame, dont know how much fab would be involved in putting the body on the dodge. Thanks for any input

Re: 58 Apache build

If the motor is a bolt in on the dodge frame. I'd go with that since you are going to have to mod a different chevy frame to fit the body anyway. I can't believe I just told you to put a chevy on a dodge frame.
