here is a '65 body on a '78 frame



if your planing on doing any kind of wheling, i would sugest not using the frame you picked up. they are weak and prone to breaking in half. your tub should bolt on to that frame fairly easy though.

I came across this site some time ago, as I've been toying around with building up something custom. You could even look at a hybrid frame and get TJ suspension on there as well. Prices look reasonable too....
