The truck is so low I couldn’t really get a good look underneath. Typical late night transaction after work and wanted to secure the deal as he had several in line on the post. Axles are 5 lug front and rear but once I got it home and was able to inspect it closer the frame is hacked all to **** and obviously just the cut down long bed frame. Truck drives straight runs great with its crate 350 but this frame is not worth fixing as it is so freaking jacked up! Without having to buy another truck or drop a ton of money for a custom frame does anyone know where I can source a swb C10 frame. I don’t care if completely stripped as long as it is not a pretzel!! This will definitely drag my build out and cost me a lot more than I wanted to spend but I wouldn’t feel right reselling the truck as it sits. I want a solid frame for my boy and I to build from the ground up to teach hi there is a life beyond a iPad and to keep in the family for generations to come. Any help would be appreciated.

Was this listed as a c10 shortbed but you decoded the vin as a c20 that's a huge red flag to investigate diligently. As all 20s were long wheelbase . Your best bet find a 20 frame and cut it down
