There is quite a bit of difference in the C10 and k10 frames.
You will need a lot of fabrication to convert a 2wd frame.
I never really understood what the differences were until recently.
I have one of each sitting side by side and they are quite a few differences.
The crossmembers,the engine cradles the whole rear section on the 4x4 from the center back is wider that the two wheel drive one.
I always thought that the two wheel drive frame was the same with a few changes but not so.
It might be easier if you started with a frame with original leafs though.
There are alot of nicely converted trucks around so it has been done, just have to be handy with a torch.



Have fun
