This transition must be different for everyone... as the last two entries on this indicate, some find it easy and some find it a long and difficult job...

dsmith... you're right I wouldn't want my '37 out of commission that long... if it was I'd probably just stick with the bel air and sell the '37...

big ragu... your thoughts mean as much as any other member here and I'm glad you threw in your two cents... my thing is I personally can't shorten a frame as I don't have the skills and equipment to take on such a job and can see going that route getting pricey...

In my perfect world though I'd be able to find some newer truck with exactly the same wheel base, strip it down to the frame, strip panels off the '37 and put them right on the new chassis but I suppose that would be too easy to do so it must be an impossibilty huh? wink

All this (chassis swaps, front end clips, new steering boxes out of 41-46 trucks etc) sounds much more complex than just trying to track down and mount an MR2 (or equivalent) EPS unit though and with my experience/skill level the less work it needs, the better... wink
