frame swap

Post by 69bumptruck »

Hi guys. I have a question for you. I have a '69, but I'm going to look at a '78 in a few days. Both are F100's. I plan on using the front suspension w/disc brakes, booster, and power steering. It also has a small block w/ an auto tranny (not sure which one yet). I plan on using my 360 motor though. Is it possible to simply put the '69 body on the '78 frame? Hope I don't sound too much like a newbie.....
