Re: question. is a 91 c-30 still a square body

Mattybilt u are correct that if i buy this 91 I will be swapping motors and front clip from my 78.
Motors are easy taking 2 out and 1 in. mainly swapping the front drive system and upper intake and a few gaskets. Front clip should be a easy direct swap only figuring out the headlights. Again 2 off and 1 back on. Everything coming out or off will be sold off at some point. It's easier than trying to find a complete cab to swap for my 78 or redoing the underdash and door wiring with power stuff.this way I know everything works (wiring-windows a/c )before I pull it apart. I know the headache of the 4l60e trans I just pulled out of my 97 to rebuild last month.
I'm in no hurry it's a long term project that will be bagged on 22 semi wheels when it's done. I work /drive for a trucking company hauling and delivering gas - avgas and jet fuel so I've got a free set of semi wheels airbags lines etc..and our lead diesel mechanic helping out.
Thanks everyone for the help so far it should be fun tackling this.
