1972 body swap
 

Hello to all !

Looking for some advice here............I'm contemplating swapping
a 1972 cab and front clip on a 1989 Chevy 4X4 short wheelbase chassis
and I want to keep my sportside box and engine, transmission and transfer
case.

Anybody out there already done this and exactly what's involved regarding
mods to chassis and/or 72 cab? Do the body mounts line up or would
they have to be relocated on my chassis? I assume I would need a high
hump floor in the cab ? Any info and advice would be greatly appreciated.....
also any pictures available of finished products????

Thanks

I'm interested in this also. I purchased a 90 4x4 long bed regular cab with the intention of swapping an extra 69 body I have on to it. I believe the cab will have to sit pretty high because the newer frames dip down where the cab sits and the 67-72's do not but I haven't really seen anything specific about it. Maybe someone has some pics of one already done?

I think that is what mudder did on his truck.

Thanks for the heads up on the list. Lots of great info in the various How-To-Do list and I will make sure that I go back over it again. However
I didn't see anything that pertained to my future project. I am using all
89 4X4 running gear and chassis and sportside box. So what I need to know
is how involved is it to use a 72 cab and front clip on what I have.

Anybody else have any ideas on what is required????
