swap questions

[gpday06]

im about to buy an '85 C20 for doors for my '79C10, the question is what else will fit onto my truck? i.e. fenders, hood, glass? thankx for the help

I believe everything can swap except the rear springs unless you moved the spring perches.

[gpday06]

also what about the beds?

[123 pugsy]

No problem.

On my 76 C-10,I have a 79 C-20 frame,a 76 cab,an 81-87 box (not sure of the year exactly). I also have an 87 tilt steering colunm,700 r4 tranny and A/C system. I have 81-87 doors installed as well.

everything should swap but the front end, you can swap the whole front end but not parts of it

Ya,these trucks are great for mix and matching.

reminds me of johnny cash's one peice at a time. What company is the fiberglass front end from? Good stuff or did it need some work?

USBody makes the tilt I have.  Excellent quality.  My other truck will be getting one from them also.

I was looking at just fenders and a hood from there or unlimited products.

Unlimited Products parts are good only if you plan to drag race and not show it or not expect it to look good.  Personally, I would avoid them like the plague.

It wont be show qaulity but I for sure want it to look good. Thanks for the heads up on them.

if i take the doors that are electric and put them into my truck thats not electric,what exactly needs to be done, oh and its electric locks and windows

You need the harness from the doors to the inside of the truck.  It is seperate from the rest of the harness.
