Seen on ebay. Not my auction, but it might be a great project for somebody.

Spacing looks pretty good for a frame swap. VERY interesting brake pedal, wonder what's up with that??

I don't understand why it's listed a 1955 F250 when the vin tag clearly says it's an F350. The box doesn't fit that frame as it's way too high..
