My son just bought (with Dad's $$) a 68 3/4 ton 2wd GMC.
He'd like a 4x4.
We found a 68 Chevy 4x4 with rusted up body.
Through a bit of reading here I understand GMC's had leafs & Chevy coils.
What other roadblocks would there be to moving the 4x4 pieces to the Chevy?
Both are 4 speed trucks.

Forgot to mention, son is 13. Anyone think that is too soon to be wrenching ?????
Doubt it. I'm hoping he enjoys this.
