Heavy1/2 · 11-03-2011, 04:45 PM

To make a long story short I've found a 1987 GMC 2500 4x4 for a very decent price... The truck is complete 350/400 NP208. I want to swap the cab and core support from of my 74 C20 (2WD) onto the 87 frame and running gear.

I know I'll have to modify the front portion of the 87 frame to fit the 74 core support, and remove the 2WD tranny hump... I was just wondering if there would be any other foreseeable porblems?

I read somewhere that I might run into clearance problems trying to fit the NP208 under the 74 cab... Can anyone confirm this? I'm sure a small body lift would help?

Cheers!
