The fame should be able to handle the extras power but it depends on rust. In Texas, you'd be fine. As for rear, I can't offer any help. Sorry..... Let us know how it goes!

I'm going to use this truck as my Friday/Saturday night cruiser, also show it at small around town car shows along with a beer cooler in the back (wife Driving) for refreshment!! I'm not doing a thing to the body or windshield, the bullet holes are STAYING!!

Maybe slap in a 283 W/3-single barrels, oil spout, Oooooga Horn, tall shifter, coon tail hanging from rear view mirror, Sarape seat cover, peep mirrors, knob steer on stirring wheel, 3" whitewalls, little drop in suspension, clear coat wood panel rails on bed!!
