Hey all! I'm brand new to the forum, but it seems that there is a wealth of knowledge here, so forgive me if this has already been addressed in previous posts, but...
I have a 1956 Studebaker Transtar 3/4 Ton Longbed Pickup truck that I am in the process of fixing up. I have all of the original parts that came on the truck from factory, but due to a number of reasons, I am planning on removing the body components (cab, fenders, etc...) and would like to swap them on to a rolling chassis of another truck (in order to have more modern luxuries like an alternator, disc brakes, etc...)
Has anyone had any experience with this type of conversion? I keep hearing that a Chevy S10 frame will work, but...
Thanks!
