Fred, Don't have anything to add to your post, but it is very interesting to me that you used an A-body chassis for a street rod(32 Ford). I am planning a build using a 65 Malibu chassis under a 57 Chev. pickup. I know that wheelbase and tred is real close on the Malibu and the 57 pickup. Any comments on fitment issues I will have to deal with would be appreciated. I've been meaning to start a thread for input for awhile now.
