With all this knowledge floating around

what does it take to fit a 34 3 window body on a 35 frame? Thanks

Magic. the 35 frame is longer and wider and of course the fenders would not work.

Don't waste your time. It would look like c*ap. There are used '34 frames out there. Do it right the first time.

Model 40 bodys bolt directly to the frame in all locations, not sitting on pads like the 35-40 frames so there aint no way to fake it

If you got a nice 34 body don't F--K it up by taking a shortcut to save some bucks. If you can't afford it now, just file it away until you can do it right.
