haha Obviously but im in the process of an off frame restoration and im considering just finding a rolling chassis with engine and tranny to drop it on and use the original frame for another project i have in the works.
A "restoration" does not use a different frame. You got good answers to your original question.
Looks like you are wanting to rod the truck. You'll get answers for that in the Hipo Shop.
By the way, welcome to the forums.
