The reason for this:

I was wondering about getting that. I was just curious as to the differences between the STD and the Super in the respect of above.

I asked the guy and told him I had a 1302....I had to tell him it was a Super then this was his reply:

the pan with a beam head would interchange, so my pan would work.

So what would be needed to make that work with my super?

I'm not really caring for having the VIN or anything....I just want a SOLID chassis. That appears like a more rigid chassis than the original, but I could be wrong....

Are you saying that you want to retain the strut front end, or switch to a beam front end?

If you are talking about using the struts, You are talking about a LOT of very accurate measurement and modification to his chassis. You need the mounting points for the control arms and the steering box. I also doubt all of the tube work on the front of his chassis is going to fit under the front of a super'sspare tire well.
