'63 ford with Z'D frame

hey guy's,
there is a '63 ford offered to me.
the ford has a z'd frame for lowering.
chassis work was done @ the national spring shop in east county. (san diego area??)


my question is:

where to look for with this kind of work done on the chassis?

is a 63 a unibody?
if so does a z'd frame not affect the body and structure of the body??

truck has a nice low stance.

see ya

twan

5t6 welcome to FTE I live in El Cajon and know some of the guys at National Spring. They do good work and usually have that type of work farmed out to East County Frame and Axle. When you refer to a unibody truck your talking about a truck that the cab and bed are one piece. It will be on the same frame as any other 63 f100. That dosen't mean the body has not been altered. If the truck is still in east county I'd be happy to take a look and offer any advice. Rich.
