Have you looked into replacing the entire frame with something pro/pre-built from Meyers and/or Morrison's. I've priced these and the technology vs the bang for the buck sounds like it might be a good approach for you. If they provide the basic frame pre-welded and you just need to do the bolt on to finish - that eliminates all the building the chassis stuff. Morrision's might already have the 68 XL in their data base - and they are a sponsor of this site. (Check the link on the left and go to their catalog for pricing) They can make a 55 Chevy perform like a current gen vette - imagine what the 68 would drive like !
