Obviously of your changing body mounts and bolting solid it opens you up a little, but square caprice will fit a Vic frame, ugly. But it fits. Other than that I have no real experience with any others.

Any thing will fit it with little modification. Just got to want to make it fit. We cut a frame into 4 pieces to make it fit the body we wanted so it had a better frame. Each time welded it back together an did more measuring

Why not just get a vic or merc box or bubble body and be done with it?

People like to be different an make things harder an gain nothing. Body swap won't gain any thing. Pick wagon or sedan of the fords an drop it on. An focus more on where the car bends not so much what body is on it.

Yes with rookies but I don't think d45 is a rookie. Atleast isn't his first year. Id focus on where the last vic he ran had bent. Once it's fixed there then it moves to next spot. May take 10 vics but by them you'll no where to massage the frame to make it much harder.

Did some research while bored. An rat rod guy says he used a vic frame to go under a 63 galexie. Now for you to measure it all under bc fEames not going to line right back up where original was. An will swap a leaf car to coil is down side

An will swap a leaf car to coil is down side That would take a ton of work since the side rails on those frames aren't straight they have a bow to them not to mention the mounts would be way way off. Stubbing a 58-64 isn't too bad but to do a total frame swap would be a nightmare.
