Welcome to the board. If you aren't thinking about serious chopping then FORGET about a frame swap. It's way more work than you think it will be and usually makes a mess of the vehicle. The stock D24 suspension is not bad at all with a few small upgrades. Drop spindles and disk brake kits are readily available. I wouldn't ruin the car with a frame swap attempt...

the more i read, the more i am leaning your direction. unfortunately, some one already welded a 67 monaco front end under it. it is somewhat of a hack job. so i am just gathering options at this point. i have access to a free 94 dakota frame, and i am working on finding a stock replacement as well. i really want to go the stock route....just depends on whats out there.

thanks for the input guys, pics to come soon as i figure out how to post them

Hack jobs make it necessary some times to fix the ole cars
