I'm looking to find out what modern frame I can use and put my body on. Want to use my original front and rear bumpers and grill. Trying to keep it looking as original on the outside as possible.

Thank you so much for all your help.

Best way would be an aftermarket street rod frame, like Art Morrison frames or others. These are really pricey$$$, I'll attach a link. Best of luck
I Restored a 30 coupe years ago when you could find parts, difficult today. Also believe others have used S-10 pickup chassis.

Thank you for the info. Hopefully I can find something like and S10 frame to fit. They are much cheaper than buying a new frame. I have all original parts. I’m not trying to put a big block in it. Maybe 4.3 or straight 6. Something so I can drive it a good distance not just around town

You could sue the original frame and there are disk brake kits to fit the front and just use a modern rear. The frame should handle a mild engine if you don't push it and are just "driving around".
