As long as it was a 6-cylinder frame (like yours), everything should swap right over, Rich.
If you got a 4cylinder frame, the motormounts are different and would need to be changed.

I was thinking on getting a new frame for about $1600 when all said and done. But if I can save and get a cheap frame I can get more toys for it. like SYE, 4" lift, maybe bigger tires and so no... If thius frame can last me 3-4 year that would be great.

I got a number I can give you for a guy in NH that will sand blast the entire frame, and powder coat it, cost about $400, I would skip the Powder coating and only go the sandblast route, then POR 15 the Biotch! a little cheaper and more effective against corrosion.

Another question. Does it matter if the straight 6 was a 4.2 (258)? Will the motor mounts still line up?

Frame fits like a glove, I drove all over southern mass/northern RI with a CJ frame in the back looking for wrights chicken farm. I still need to find the guys info, worse case sinerio, I need to drive three street away from my house and ask my jeeper friend the name and number, he did up his frame, looks mint.
But I would still go the POR 15 route and not the powder coating.

To save money I think I am going to use a wire brush grinder.
