Frame questions
 
I am replacing the frame on my 3/4 ton 4x4 and can only find good 2wd frames. The one I want to get is off a c20 and has a little bit surface rust at the back. How different are the frames? I can change cross members if I have to and I j ow I will need the 4x4 rad support bracket for the perches.
Thanks

What would need to be modified for the cab mounts? I can take off my crossmember and put it on the frame. I am going to be boxing it and adding some crossmembers to strengthen it

C20 frame is lite duty compared to K20, see chart unless you have C6P option

Does the donor C20 have a full floating rear? If it does it Probably has the C6P option and then would have a similar frame to the K20903. C20903 is a 2wd C20 pickup, K20903 is a 4wd K20 pickup.

I don't think it did. Other than thickness what would be different with the frames?
