Have u looked at the back rails of the 09-11 frames how they are doubled and how they have more gussets here and there. That’s what got me think on how much tougher the 09-11 would be then the 98-02 ones

That’s what got me think on how much tougher the 09-11 would be then the 98-02 ones I mean stubbing a frame isn't alot of work, but it depends on if rules allow it, and what the rest of the rules are for me personally. Most rules around me wouldn't allow a hybrid frame. |

In my humble opinion it depends on class and rules. If you can crease, wedge or dish and make a rear tough, it’d be worth it... without creasing or being able to tuck I don’t see the merit in it.

What are u meaning on this Seems like an uneducated guess on the worth of swapping the frame. Yes they are stronger. Is it worth the effort? I will leave that up to the person doing the work since we all gauge amount of effort differently. Me and one other guy can swap rear frames in under 2 hours. |

Yes ford/merc will interchange from any year... You can do lincoln too but have to do a little adjusting with the lengths. But if you can stub side rails together then you can eliminate the dump hole on the side rail...(with a lincoln rear frame to ford merc front frame) since you have 3 inches of extra and takes a 1 1/2 to not have the big holes anymore in front of rear wheel... |

My question was for derbyguy02. I knew the frames wild swap I was curious bc if your allowed to mix years could swap with a 50sto 64 model rear and have a leafed rear frame with a new style front end. |

Don't think you can do rears but fronts guys are doing and putting a 98+ front on the older car.... |
