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 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. Not to mention, a full Vic frame swap to a 60's Ford leaves you without the leafs in the back and would probably take away from the brick shithouse that the rear end of those cars can be. As you said, the rails under the doors bow out on the old Fords, and the only reason I could see using any part of a Vic frame is to stub it and get rid of the C-channel, weak spring pockets, etc. |

I did mention the leafs being replaced with coil. An also said it was be alot of work due to frames being alot different. Glad to see u took the time took reread before commenting on what I had to say instead of saying no spend more time on the factory frame an body of the 98 to 02. Like most of us have told him. I just was giving him a body some one has used. Not saying it was gonna be easy.

And just need a body to put on it. Ive asked several times to different people that i was looking for a clean body and nobody has anything. |
