3rd gen frame with 1st gen body

[dragsten56]

Hi I know I'm asking alot of question with different threads but I'm just asking for opinions on my ideas on if it's feasible to do so but how similar are the body mount on a 2nd or 3rd gen frame to my 1st gens body mounts

Brother I have not looked into it but I’m sure your have to fab your own body mounts or reuse the 1st gen ones welded to the 3rd gen frame. Then you’d be looking at possibly motor mounts and trans mounts and the drivetrain components. I think it depends a lot on what you have on hand or what you want to purchase. Body swaps aren’t new but they’re all rather unique.

Perhaps the two red-circled dimensions can be useful for comparison to your existing Gen 1 Expedition's body mount locations...

I'd love to drag home a rolled 3rd gen expy and just swap the body over
