I was wondering if any knows of a current frame setup (power disc brakes, power steering, and structurally sound) that my 46 Chevy stylemaster (2 door) would fit on?  I am looking for something that would only need minor mods to make fit, I am some what crafty but not an expert by no means.  

Thanks for the help, Ken.

Another one, in your case if the frame is still good, either rebuild our present set up and add power brakes and steering or go to a MII setup, either would be easier and cheaper than swapping frames and making them work (body mounts, adiator support, engine position Etc., usually have to be adjusted)

Unfortunately the previous owner started working on the car and then stopped about 20 years ago so it is the body is sitting on a 67 chevelle frame that is in very bad shape.  There is nothing on the frame that I want to keep that is why I was looking for a swap.  It sounds like I may have a better chance finding a 46' car and frame and then just rework the frame a little.  Thanks for your reply.

Another solution I have seen is to find a car with the same wheelbase and cut the the body off leving floor and firewall attached to the frame, remove the floor and some of the firewall from your car and re-attach the body to the new floor?
