Re: Another frame swap
Looks good. I'm in the process of doing the same thing with my 57 3200. I have a 82 suburban 3/4 ton that gave up the chassis. I'll be shortening the frame this weekend 6 inches and then start the body mounting.
Do you have any pictures of your progress? I think I'll do the same with the 2X6 box along the frame rail to fill in the gap. Scott |

Re: Another frame swap
when you are shortening the frame like that, how are you putting it back together? just weld it back up and weld plates on each side?
