I would think the 53 or 54 would be identical. Good luck, John

55 frame swap?

try an mid 90s explorer frame... the wb is 112, but i think it would work. I've been looking for a wrecked explorer to get the frame and running gear from to try and put a 61-64 body on... I've done some measurements and I think it'll fit... The 53 and the 62 I have have simliar dimentions on the frames. Just have to be good with a welder....
