Theres a garage down in Holopaw that does Corvette bodies(stingray) onto chevy
blazer frames and they look alright for a chevy I guess. Using some 4or 6" I beam
will help strengthen the frame and give room for the tires while getting the body
mounts lined up. It is far better to use the stock body mount place(on frame cars)
then to make new holes. OF course a van either thrown on a frame or a axle mounted
always looks bad@$$!!

Someone around here did that
most of those kind of mod done around here is they took the truck frame, the took the orignal car frame, bolted and welded the two together and do the appriate body work to make it look good. I personally haven't seen any that looked like it was worth the time or the money. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!
Mounted a mid-'90's Crown Vic on a 4x4 truck frame.
And it looked pretty much like a mid-'90's Crown Vic on a 4x4 truck frame, kinda dopey.
I'd sooner take a small convertible car and mount it on two snowmobile tracks. That'd look so stupid it's be cool...especially with the top down in zero degree weather!

I've been thinking it would be damn cool to put a 80ies thunderbird on a 4wd ranger frame; winters where I live are pretty fierce and 4wd would help, in addition to just being cool. I know people have done things like this before and I've seen some pics on the net, but I can never find any information about how it is done. Anybody know anything about putting a unibody on a truck frame?
sitting on a 4x4 frame and then there is this......
