1949 Plymouth 2 door frame swap

Take a tape measure and spend a couple hours at the boneyard- I'm willing to bet that a first or second gen Dakota frame will fit the bill- there's lots of variations for wheelbase between shortbed/longbed and regular cab, extended cab and quad cab and all the combinations thereof... Smallblocks & Torqueflites drop right in, beefy brakes, rack & pinion steering. And if I recall, the track width is just right.
