Dave, not a bad guy at all: Looks like I’m parting out this Galaxie.

Looks like I’m parting out this Galaxie.

Nooooo

The frame is completely shot

Bummer. Is it like the old "unibody" thing where it's just the body welded to the frame?

No. Unibody means the body does a lot of the stiffening. The body and frame are a single unit, and there really isn’t a continuous frame running from bumper to bumper. With this, the body does very little stiffening. The roof does some, I guess. The frame is bumper to bumper, like a pickup.

The body is bolted to the frame. And it could be driven without any body parts at all.

But not this one.

Okay, so it is true body-on-frame. Some old Fords are kind of a weird hybrid. So hypothetically you could do a frame swap.
