lookin to update frame and works for my '54 2T 6300 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What I would like to do is take the body off my '54 Chevy 2T model 6100 grain truck that has tandem dually axles w/dump bed and put it on a newer truck platform. I have yet to find tech info for newer truck frames, wheel base and such, to make the swap as easy as possible. It would be nice to go faster than 45 mph as the current 2 speed rear will allow. A more up-to-date running gear and brakes would be a plus too. Still would like to keep the dump feature. Does anybody know what Chevy/GMC medium duty truck I could swap off the body and enjoy highway speeds?
