Are there any G10 C10 parts that can be interchanged
« on: November 18, 2016, 03:52:25 pm »
Hey everyone I have a 1986 Chevy Beauville Van and I was wondering if I can pull any parts off of it and put into my C10 before I go scrap it.

Alright cool I figured the engine and trans are interchangeable but thank you for verifying. I did already steal the lug nuts off of it so thank you for that. And the grille is not because the vans grill bolts on bs being screwed in on the pick up. Does anyone know if I can use the steering column controls or even if the column is long enough?

The instrument panel on the van interchanges with a chevette, not that it would be any use in this case.

i also believe the control arms, rotors, spindles interchange with the truck?

Also, the grill is the same size as the truck, so you could use zip ties  (i'm cheap).

To go off topic, what is the difference (if any) between a van cuttaway and a chassis-cab?

Why would you need to choose one over the over?
