Re: 53 Chevy pickup on a 87 Caprice chassis

looks like a good fit. i have seen that done before and one of the things they did to the perimeter frame was take some rectangular tubing and weld in new frame rails so the frame was not kicked out. after they welded them in they simply trimmed off the outer ones. by doing that you can get close to stock frame width.

That is a nice looking swap. Tires seem to fit nicely in the fenders
