replacing cab
 

I have a 1982 k20 chev pu 4x4. I recently purchased a c10 cab, can anyone tell me what kind of problems I mite run into when replacing the cab other than the hump in the middle. The one on the k20 has bolts holding it down, so I was going to cut out the floor on the c10 and replace it with the bolt down section from the k20. I was told that this would work. Thanks for any help.

What year is the c10 cab?

Re: replacing cab
 

Your pretty much spot on.. But the bigger issue is VIN placement which is different through out the years.

Re: replacing cab
 

The c10 cab is a 1982 also.

Other than the vin issue and hump your mint!!

The c10 did not have ac, I was thinking I could cut that part of the firewall out on the k20 and weld it on the c10. Has anyone tried this. Thanks

Re: replacing cab
 

I have done that. I didn't weld it though, just a few sheet metal screws and seam sealer, The A/C box covered up the seam. I made a template of the A/C firewall and then made the Non A/C fire wall look like the other.

I have some pics in my 78 Big 10 thread

I wouldn't cut and weld just cut Out the c10. Less welding the better.

So are you saying just cut the k20 and place it over the c10 area and cut what I need to open those areas and the other openings will be covered by this part?

I welded in an a/c section of firewall on a non a/c truck. No problem if everything is removed for access.
