Has anyone ever put an 03 and newer frame under a 50s wagon? Would many/any of the bolt holes line up?

If trying an 03 it won’t slide in like the 98-02 You would have to do it in the middle not at firewall

Imo, the 98-02 is a way cleaner install and much stronger then 03. If you can leaf an 03 id rather just leaf the 03, if you want to stub an old ford do it with a 98-02 or something more creative. I have one I want to do with a different frame that lines up really well but dont have the time nor resources.

Do you guys prefer a tall skinny tire, like a 7.00-15, or more like a 235/75-15?
