Might be easier than grafting frame sections or narrowing the TF.

I'm real late to this party but the issue as was pointed out with the narrowed Task force frame is that the later C-10 frames are several inches narrower where they cross the "axle" line between the front wheels than a Task force frame. To use a C-10 crossmember on a Taskforce frame without modifying the frame you would have to widen the crossmember several inches rather than narrow it. That would put the front wheels way outside of the fender line.
