Re: '60-'66 Body On A '73-'87 Frame
One side note to add about the legality issue:
I know of a situation here in Kansas, where a guy I knew did a frame swap on a '50's Chevy pickup, did not document it or provide the paperwork to make it legit. His thought was " it's already titled/tagged so no one will ever know"
Well about 2 years after the swap, he was involved in an accident, which was his fault. His insurance investigated, suspected a "modified vehicle" found the numbers didn't match and refused payment on anything. The highway patrol got involved, confiscated the truck. He never was able to recover it because he had no documentation.
In Kansas we have a "builders' title" which is a pain in the a$$. BUT if done correctly Kansas will assign you a new ID number that encompasses all the new parts as a complete vehicle. The main inspections we have here are for VIN verification.
KS does offer Antique titles/registration that is somewhat painless and obtainable with just a bill of sale, and a VIN verification.
Great info Captain and regardless of the ride height- that was a nice build!! ...and VERY yellow. LOL
