Title: Frame Swap does a C10 match K10?
Post by: Hutch998 on March 24, 2017, 12:32:52 PM

My frame on my 78 k10 is rotted out. I found a 73-87 c10 frame for 50 bucks on craigslist. I plan on swapping my body over to the new frame, what all is needed? Is any fab work required?

You need the suspension brackets, and you need to drill out the holes for the front spring rear shackle mount. You also need the engine crossmember, and possibly the front crossmember as well. Everything else should bolt right up afaik

you can make it work but dont expect the rivet holes to be there. you have to measure and drill
