'55 Body onto a 1999+ 4x4 Frame

[Alberta_55]

So I picked up a nice solid cab and front clip for a '55 Series 2 pickup.

Now I am curious, I've looked around for info on fitting the body of the 55 onto a later model Chevy frame.

The reason for this is obvious; I want the 4x4, the 4 wheel disks, the durable drivetrain, the fuel injection, etc.

Ideally I'd like to use a 2500 platform because I'm planning on engine upgrades that will make a lot of power, so the stronger drive train is desirable.

However, if it would be easier to use a 1500 frame, I could go that route and just see about getting the heavier duty drive train into the 1500 frame.

I'm having a hell of a time finding any info on frame measurements and what it's going to take to make this swap work.

So if you have links to similar builds, info that would help me or anything else, please feel free to share it.

If you're just going to tell me to keep the original frame, please just refrain from posting such comments. I'm looking for constructive input.

Thanks again!
