Run, do not walk away from that frame swap. Nothing will fit right and you'll end up with another butchered up classic truck that will sit and rot for years and probably never get back on the road. You will contribute to the economy, however, with all the dollars you'll throw away trying to make it work. It will also look funny with the tires stuck way out past the fenders.

Hey Hotrod,
Thanks for the advise. I'm an old guy so I think I'll stick with the old school frame. I was thinking about a disk brake swap but I can't find any 8 bolt systems. I've found 14 bolt rears with disks, but I'm guessing the front conversion won't be that easy. Maybe a new master cylinder with dual systems and some decent drums and shoes will be sufficient to stop it with the 235. I found an Offy intake manifold with 3 ports for single barrels online. That may give it a little more juice. I also think I've located a 14 bolt Corporate rear end with a 3.73 final drive. That should allow me to get on the freeway, at least in the slow lane. Which, after this covid mess, is just about every lane on California freeways.
