I changed a 39 sedan frame was totally gone, Found a 35 .
Many ways it can be done.
Remove front and rear fenders.
I used engine hoist with a chain under back and high enough to get 2 milk cases under and a 4x4 10 feet long.
There are 22 bolts to hold body on.
I now moved the engine hoist to front and under body mounts with chain left there.
Steering column is most problem remove and pedals problem just push down and hold. I then dropped frame and wheeled out on brake drums.
Check front for any changes just make the same.
Good you have title and now have numbers to match.
I just resampled with my original numbers.
Have fun.
