I have a 56 dodge 1/2 ton panel in great condition. Was originally a military vehicle.
I wanted to ask what would be the best truck to go with as far as just taking the body of the panel and putting on another frame. Everything on the panel is there except the motor and transmission.
I haven't taken any measurements on the wheel base or frame width yet.
Have been busy ...not lazy LOL
If anyone has some ideas that would be great
Thanks

Thanks for your informative reply though | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 | Manley, I had not thought of that. Using the word Dodge in your search may just crash the site. LOL. Hope you find what your looking for.

He's doing a similar truck & doing a frame swap but using all Mopar parts. I believe he's using a Durango frame w/a Hemi, BUT that being said, it may also fit on an S10 frame also...joe
