Switch 37 Coupe Express Cab/Bed onto Sedan Frame?

[Guest Don Aust]

Any ideas about whether it is a good (or bad) idea to put the cab and bed of a 37 CE I am getting ready to restore onto a 37 Sedan frame. I don't really need the strength of the extra leaf springs on the back end, the beefed up rear end, or the front leafs. This will be pretty much for show and street, (original engine,tranny,rear end from the 6A sedan) and no real need for the heavier hauler stuff. I have a Dr.s coupe, 6A, and love the way it drives and rides. If anyone has done this, or knows someone who has, could you please help me out.
