old body to new chassis

Anyone ever put a 56 ford panel truck onto a new chassis, be it a car or a truck? I'm looking for something that will require little or no modification to the donor frame in order to work. I understand mounting points will have to be made.
Thanks,
James

I have not done it with your truck / frame combo before, but I have with other vehicles. I can say, you can make any frame work, but you will have to modify the body if you don't modify the frame... something has to give for everything to work and fit. To look right, you may want to modify a stock frame... but it is all on personal preference. on the H.A.M.B., they have one string dedicated to S10 chassis to other vehicle swaps. Check it out and you may like it.
