The floors are stuffed as well as k frame, I want to drop it on a full chassis such as a one tonner or similar.
Has anybody done or know of anyone who has done a conversion this way or is it simplier to do a traditional build, the plan is to go V8

Any ideas ?

i have one simular pretty good outer body rooted floors, and that is my thoughts to chassis it (but doubt it will ever happen ) toyota crown chassis apparently work (check out some of harko's work he's kinda done it, i know a fella with an FJ on a chev luv chassis (good fit)
the one i have i've thought more about a fabricated chassis just got to find an engineer that would wear it and i wouldn't even pester an engineer till i was ready to start cutting and welding so i doubt it will happen

Thanks for some starting points Mick,
I also toyed with the idea of a fabricated chassis, only if someone could or do make a pair of full rails.
