Re: subframe question

If you weren't wanting disk brakes a 67-68 and maybe 69 GMC 3/4 ton chassis would get the wheels inside the fenders better but you loose the disk brakes of the later trucks. That gets into the Hard to find one territory now though. 73/88 3/4 ton trucks are still pretty easy to find and you can probably find one within a reasonable drive that has an unmolested chassis but has been stripped of what the seller sees as valuable. meaning less to get rid of.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
