Hi I have a 85 Chevy c10 with a bent frame I’m looking for a new one and a guy at the junk yard told me that a 96 gmc 1500 I was wondering if anyone knows if that will work without to many modifications

not even close. Anything can be made to work if you have the skills but better off finding a 81-87 same wheelbase

Why not take it to a frame shop and see if they can straighten it.

Sign a waiver and get it going. You're in for a lot of work otherwise.
