Some are better than others. A lot of the Jap trucks are prone to chassis rot. I put a trans in a mid 90's Nissan Hardbody, and had to do it on the alignment rack because the chassis was litterally collapsing on the 2 post lift. Meanwhile, our 1986.5 Hardbody has a GREAT chassis.

Click to expand...

for sure! past 2 months my truck has caught 3 kinds of hell! broke the frame in 2 places... alot and kept welding it back, pulled the right read spring hanger loose and part of the chassis cam with it so it had a huge gaping hole in the frame and i welded all that back and finally i got dog ass drunk one night and a couple buddies stole the puppy and went a dug a creek bed out with it... warped the frame, bent the steering link, and ran it slap outta gas and i had to build the carb again. she has earned herself the right to a long vacation! taking me places i really shouldn't have been haha.
found me a '69 or '70 chevy! hope we can work out a deal
 
70-71 gmc jimmy is the best looking in that body, imo. Always liked them. Panel trucks and suburbans are great looking no matter the year.
 
'69 c10 swb stepside with FACTORY a/c, power steering, and power brakes! THING WAS LOADED! had the original matching numbers 307 and turbo 350 in it. body is almost perfect! needs a driver front fender and slight work on the driver back fender. it has a 1 inch by 1/2 inch spot of rust in the passenger rocker panel and perfect floor pans! $1500 and it runs... i'll be putting my built 350 in it and a 3 speed manual! i'm going to keep the matching numbers motor and tranny for IF i ever decide to sell it lol
 
That or... take the crank outta that 307 and put it in a 350 block and you"ll have a 327.
 
Too bad it's not a 283, then you could put the crank in a 350 block and make a screaming 302. Now that is fun! I was lucky enough to pick up a 1966 small journel 327. Was going to put it in my dad's 59 Apache, but after getting a 74 Nova from a friend with orig 350/350 10 bolt, we are going to save it for something special. That Nova drive train is getting built for the Apache instead.
