Question clip or stock?

well i bought a complete 52 f1 yesterday with good front fenders, good bed and the cab is chery. But now I have a new problem the truck i bought has been cliped with a monte carlo clip, and the rear part of the frame isnt the same as my other f1 and im not sure how to tell if everything is alighned corectley. Its weird the guy used what i think is a 53 or later rear frame then welded a 4" piece of chanel to another frame then to the clip, so basically it has three frames built into one or something. The welds are nice and look strong but im just not to sure. Anyone got any Ideas? Use the old straight axle frame or the morphadite frame which has a real nice stance??

Take it to an alignment shop that has a 4 wheel alignment rack and have it checked. If they can get the front and rear aligned you are good to go.
