Well, I had to make new brackets on the frame for the body so that I could
use rubber body mounts.
And by putting the metal box floor in it made mounting the box easier.
The one thing I have to deal with is the wheel track is wider than the
original frame.
It might not be that big of a deal,But if it is I may have to check into
some reverse offset rims to pull the wheels in a bit. I'll keep you posted.

Doug, lokks pretty good. Was it fairly easy to adapt the 93 chassis for the
53 body? Do you have pics on the frame swap?
