The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Swapping frame ?? - 1979 step van to 1958 Chevy Viking 40 Bus

I had a 59 short bus that I let go to a new owner last year. I considered the same thing you are before letting it go, because I knew I would not get around to doing them.

However, I believe the more efficient path is to address the issues on your bus. As you probably know, you can do a rear end swap (P30?) for disc brakes and convert the front to disc as well. Attaching an automatic transmission behind the 350 should not be tough and must be a way to do power steering etc.

Anyway, just my opinion and I believe it is a project worth doing and wish I had more time to do the one I had.

Good luck on your build. You will get great advice here!
