I've never worked with one but I believe the 57 frame has some differences.

What do you need another frame for? I thought you had a 55 frame?

Man I'm jealous! I've got to be happy with a flat concrete pad on the end of my garage.


Oh yea and if you are looking for another frame make sure you get one that is the correct length to match the box you are running. If you have a short box make sure you get the short box frame. Otherwise you might not be too happy when you go to mount your body on the chassis and have a huge gap between the cab and box.
