Edwina Babington Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 What is the best 4WD pickup frame to use to convert a 1945 Dodge 1/2 ton pickup to 4WD with PS, PB, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC38dls Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Nothing a frame swap seldom works out. Just my 2 cents from owning a 49 F3 Ford and seeing a bunch of now parts trucks from guys that tried. dave s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnybaba Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Having "upgraded" many 1930's pickups to 4X4 and more modern steering, brakes etc... You would get it all looking and running RIGHT.... if you keep your original frame that the body is currently on.... and build new motor & transmission mounts and change the axels out with new running gear mounted on the original frame.... a lot more work/fabrication.... but then it will appear that it was supposed to be built that way.... rather than an OBVIOUS chassis swap.....
