83 gmc c10/k10 3/4 ton axle swap

[bake74]

     Are you talking straight frame ?  No, suspension yes.  There is a difference between the 1 ton and 3/4, 1/2 ton if I remember right.

Just the frame it self. I'm buying a 3/4 ton lift for it and I already have 3/4 ton axels. I needed crossmembers for the k10 frame, but then I stumbled across this k20 that's in great shape. I wanna use it if my 83 c10 body will bolt to it with no issues. Other then a small body lift.

Finally got the bed and a883 out if the c10. Picked up a cherry picker to pull the motor. Gotta lot of work to be done in the next couple weeks. Looking like it might be moving by mid spring

Decided to use my 10 bolt for the front. Got new ball joints and u-joints. And all my new stuff put on.

6 inch lift rough country
Disk brakes for the rear
Dual shock steering stabilizers
Warn lock out hubs

     Great start.

It's coming alone  about to paint the frame with Por15 then replace brake lines and fuel lines. Then pull motor out of c10 and start that build.

     Keep plugging along, that is more than some of us are doing right now.

Yea came across a snag. The frames tweaked and didn't know it. The kid I bought it off, added a leaf on the passenger side rear to get around it.



Gonna call a collision place, to see if they can straighten it.
