Dodge frame question?

[r00ster]

OK folks, here is the question. I found a complete and unmolested 1920? dodge frame for my 1920? Graham truck cab. Price is rite at $75 but I dont know if it will be strong enough. Do any of you think it would hold up to the engine I have layin arround. Its a bone stock 454 with TH400 out of my old chevy or do i need to just build a frame? We were gona try and put this thing back together origional but the elements, sage brush and dozer operators dont do good things to sheetmetal or or other metal parts layin on the ground for 60 or so years.

If it was me, i would build my own frame, especially if your putting a big block in it. Or you might be able to get away with boxing that original frame.
