   I took the wife out this morning to get her hair done and all those things women do and then she was going shopping right next door,so i had a few hours to kill.Went over to another buds garage where he is building a 37 ford panel truck.He started to laugh when i told him about the crown victoria bolt in front end,and he said have a look ,a close look.I said OMG HOW. He told me he cut 3 inches out of the middle of the front end and had a friend weld it back together.  I am going back out to his place tomorrow  taking a measuring tape and a camera  lol lol  Wayner

  Not knowing where to put this ,I decided this would be the place. I have scoured many sites over the last 20 or 30 years and seen lots of ideas. I have an idea kicking around in the back of my head and i would like to let it out I would like some opinions.
  This is about all the 48/49/50/51 chevy trucks that have been placed on chevy S10 and gmc jimmy.frames
   Now how about placing the 32/33 chevy body on such a frame. Is it to high, Is it to long , Is it to wide.The one i am sitting looking at is a jimmy 1992 4 wheel drive v8 700R4 auto,Great running little truck with leather bucked seats and auto push button 4 wheel drive,and a rear leather seat that looks like it would double as a rumble seat lol lol  OK

So after going all over the map...back to the OP's question.

My stepson has a 51 GMC frame (two in fact), both 4WD.  Just by looking at it I would have to say it is too wide, too long etc.  But like anything else, it could always be fixed. The depth of the frame section itself is also considerably deeper than the earlier Chevy's. Once he gets all the brackets off the second frame that he wants, we are going to cut the frame up into flat stock, and I will use some of it to box the frame on my '35.

Was your plan to make it a 4WD vehicle?  If so, that would be one way to do it.  Just be ready to do some considerable modification to the frame.  Might be a bit of work, but probably not that bad once you get at it.

 What i was looking for was something just a little different  wished to find a bolt in front independent front suspension. IF push comes to shove, I have a 1954 chevy truck front end with hydralic brakes that will just bolt up. My latest thinking is to measure up a 1953/54 chevy car front end or early corvette front end and see if it is wider than the 32 at the axle line on the 1932 chevy
