At this age and with the driveline being rebuilt, I'm not sure I'd care if the body was swapped too. These trucks are totally interchangeable, I would be concerned about a sheetmetal swap anymore than I would be about the motor swap, or new brakes or tires for that matter. I guess everything on a 73-87 can be considered a wear item. I've changed cabs before because they were rotted out, and I've swapped beds for the same reason. One of the reasons I love these trucks, there isn't much a backyard mechanic can't do himself. And I don't think it would detract from the value of the truck, like it would on a 50s or 60s antique show truck.

The reason that he should ask is because no matter how "easily" a body/vin swap can be done, you should know exactly what you are spending your hard earned money on. With any swap like this you need to question the legality of the swap. Was the truck stolen and thats why the swap happened? I am not implying that happened here, but just to ask for clarification. Looking at the ad, you will also notice that it is titled c10, then the second line states c20.
