GMC stepside body bolt direct onto a fleetside Chevy?
I'm in the Albuquerque area for a few months & these 2 Craigslist ads caught my eye as a possible combo...will they bolt directly onto one another? If so, what would be fair $ offers for each of the two? Also, I'm assuming that dealing with swapping the 2 cabs would require a shop facility with a hoist, etc...would any other part of the swap require a shop facility? Any ideas of minimal total shop hours required to end up with something that could at least be towed out in one piece & parked for a diy completion? (FWIW, I'm more interested in ending up with something more like LAWMAN02's red f/d truck on this pg http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=191687&page=7 rather than a low-rider sort of rig.) Is there any salvage value to the Chevy body or the GMC chassis or motor? What would the end result be worth?

I think you would be better of just converting the 2wd to 4x4 and not spending 1300.00 and alot of time on the other? It is not real hard to put the front axle under a 2wd, then just put in transfer case some axles and go from there.

Thanks for your reply, but are you factoring in the unfortunate fact that the 2wd GMC doesn't have a tranny in it? I'm also assuming that without a tranny, the motor in the GMC will be difficult/expensive to check out...
