80 F150 Flareside on a car frame?
After thinking about how I"m going to get my Flareside project as low to the ground as possible, still have it ride nice and not spend a ton of money on flip kits and JDM dream beams.....
I was thinking about dropping the entire cab and bed on a car frame.
According to my research, an F150 SWB truck is 126 inches.
Does anyone know of a suitable donor car that has approximately the same wheelbase?
I've seen articles here about putting a late model clip under the front end, but that seems like a lot of work. Plus, you still have to deal with the rear.
I was thinking maybe something along the lines of a T-Bird or an LTD frame of the same era.
Any thoughts?
