The frames are similar enough that the 'early' body can fit w/some mods:

Accomodate for these differences & the body will swap over.

Radiator core support mounts are not in the same location. Front edge of frame horns are a different physical shape. Front edge of frame rails are @ a slightly different height. Accomodate for these differences & the body will swap over. __________________ 67SWB-B.B.RetroRod 64SWB-Recycle 89CCDually-Driver/Tow Truck 99CCSWB Driver All Fleetsides @rattlecankustoms in IG Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
