1985 Corvette parts can it be done
Ok so a new monkey wrench in my plans my father-n-law is offering me a running 1985 Corvette fiberglass is shot . My questions are is it possible to use any of it on my 1962 C10 build ?Is it super costly to do ? Is there tons of fabricating involved ?Most of all is it to much for a first time build by a novice ? please bear with me and all my questions. thanks

Re: 1985 Corvette parts can it be done
search C4 swaps in the google search above (make sure and click the 67-72chevytrucks, or it will search the web), lots of people have done the corvette suspension swaps
here is a recent one: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=655167

Re: 1985 Corvette parts can it be done
i was looking for a cheap 85 and up corvette. I was going for the Tuned Port injection for my truck. I found a 92 corvette engine that I have but might not use it after all.

Check Flat Out Engineering and Progressive Automotive they both sell crossmembers to install c4 suspensions. Fabricating your own mounts is just careful measuring and some attention to detail

Re: 1985 Corvette parts can it be done
The Corvette engine and trans would be easy. The suspension change would be a bit much for a novice.
