hello all,
wondering if anyone can point me toward a link that i can look up dimensions of a G body wagon. friend's brother has a 84 Malibu wagon sitting on his farm that he's thinking of scrapping out. i was wondering if the frame would fit under a 70 Chevy truck. that way saving me from having to convert everything from the inline 6, as well as disc brakes etc. i understand that there will be a kick up in the rear where the stock suspension is, but the main thing I'm looking at, before commiting to take the car is if it will be remotely close to what i could use. I'm sure I'll have to make brackets to mount the body, core support, bed, but that's minor. with all the aftermarket parts that are available for the G body, i think i could make a nice handling truck here. any help will be appreciated.

thanks, JD
 
the car is pretty rotten. sheet metal wise, but the frame is supposed to be in good shape. if it were in better shape i'd definitely make a driver out of it. i'm just trying to use my resources 🙁
 
The larger B-body chassis would be a better start if you wanted to build on a car, but a newer full size truck would be the best.
I would imagine you'd be able to get a rolling frame for not too much coin.
