Help with 1959 Dodge Sweptline front suspension upgrade/conversion ideas?

What shape is your frame? My 56 Dodge 1/2 had a hour glass shape in the front, I tried installing a Volare clip, it could have been done with some one with better welding skills than me but it was challenging, I finally scrapped the frame mod, lifted the body off, scrapped the frame and rolled a 81 dodge truck Frame under it, even then I had to shorten the frame about 5 inches, but at least I had independent front suspension with disc brakes I could economically get parts for. However after much further research and the experience of doing one IF I did it again I would mount the body on a 2wd Dakota frame, and your done!
