Re: Frame swap? Just crossmember? How about that transmission?
Keep the body on the '63 frame and just upgrade with the parts from something like that '77 you found for $50. Mounting the '63 body onto a '73-'87 frame will require lots of fabrication and will result in a 4 wheel drive looking truck. BTDT The '88 and up frames are even more different than the '63 frame. I haven't attempted a swap like that, but just looking at it, I don't think it would be very easy, and might not turn out favorably.
