I don't believe in arbitrarily Throwing out wild an expensive suggestions when someone asks a question like this. If someone asks is this high end custom after market chassis better than that high end custom after market chassis I might voice an opinion. I'm lucky to be a few hours drive from both Morrison and Rydman Ranch chassis and have seen plenty of both shops work but they want more for a chassis than most guys on here have in a complete build with paint and upholstery.
If you are thinking about having someone do a chassis swap/upgrade and you are on Facebook you might check out Purple Monkey Kustoms Rich does a lot of frame swaps in AD and some TF trucks using the 98 and up C 10 chassis primarily his shop is out west of Daytona beach but He doesn't have visitors without a prior appointment. He isn't doing much customer work now preferring to build trucks his way and put them up for sale. He might be open to a chassis swap where he doesn't have to do the complete build though. Or he might have some suggestions for you to do it on your own. He doesn't piddle pot around on the projects he does either.

Thanks for the info, I may have to give him a shout.

Fab skills are good, shop with room, mig, tig, small fab table. Can't afford a full on custom frame but I'm ok with modifying what I have or getting another donor and doing the same. Looking for a nice stance with the rear wheels tucked up into the bed openings, don't need it on the ground I want to be able to drive it. Time is always an issue but at 57 years old I have a little bit left
