C10 to K10 cab swap questions
« on: September 16, 2016, 03:03:13 pm »
I have a couple questions about a cab swap. These are both 1984 chevy trucks. The rust free c10 cab is going on the k10. So will need the hump changed,attach clutch master cylinder, and clutch assembly added over. What kind of ballpark figure should a job like this cost? I was originally told this was an easy swap and wouldnt be that expensive. Now the costs are adding up fast. Also mentioning possible wiring problems because the c10 was automatic and the k10 is manual?

That's expensive.

Wiring needs to be looked at, cab floor(depending on year may be easier)

Honestly a rust free cab for a manual C10 should be just as easy to find as an auto C10, then it would bolt right on, and be cheaper as you don't need to modify the cab(which creates issues within itself)
