EZ-Chassis swap kits?
Has anyone used the EZ-Chassis swap kits to put a 73-87 frame in a 2nd gen?
Looks to be a very nice setup.

Re: EZ-Chassis swap kits?
I've seen firsthand an 88-98 4wd frame under a '57. The 4wd width doesn't leave much room for wider tires but it does fit. I think the 2wd is narrower by a couple-few inches and would be a better choice. For a longbed pickup you have to cut and re-weld either the square body or GMT-400, so why not go with the newer / better running gear? Frames are the same width, I'd think you could reuse the OE brackets if you punched the rivets out.
If you have a shortbed, bets are off.

Re: EZ-Chassis swap kits?
From what I know. There is absolutely no way that the pictures on their websites can be of their kits. The measurements just don't make sense. I got a 504 kit, and the brackets were way to tall.
