frame swap?
 
does anyone know if a 1966 short bed chevy pickup will fit on a 1968 short bed chevy, 2wd pickup frame? I imagine that cab mounts will different, are the frames the same size and wheel base?
Thanks.

I think the rear of the frames are different, but I'm not sure about the wheel base.

the ends aren't the same... you'll have to be creative on the bumpers.
There was a kid that used to log on here, was on the east side of Columbus (this was 5 years ago or so) he had a 69 cab with the late mode sportside bed, all on a 60 - 66 frame.

thanks. I have 68 chevy truck that is running and driving, the frame is in great shape and I have also have a good 65 body but the frame is bad. I want to fix a frame for my 68 with a new engine and make it lay frame. so i will basically have a left over running frame i just want to set the 65 body on it. what modifications would need to be made?
