67 cab to mid 80's frame?

[factoryorange3]

i have a 67 C10 lwb truck. i am hoping to pick up a mid 80's k20 chassy and put the 67 cab on. is this possible? i have a 2wd SM 465 tranny and would like to find a Np 205 t-case.

It can be done,but your 80's frame will be a longer wheelbase,the differences in the bends of the frames are quite a bit different.I had planned on doing the same thing with my truck build,but after I worked trying to work out the cab and radiator support mounts I decided to find a factory 4 wheel drive frame instead.I found one with a rough body and a straight frame and junked it out for the frame,everything now will bolt in place without any modifying.

We switched this over to a 77 chassis in less than two weeks working on it in the evenings. Helps to have someone that can cut and weld and has the way to do your lifting. Shorten the frame and inch and a half.

yes i have all the capabilities and will look into this idea. but am currently looking at a 76 k10 to take the easy way out.

A suburban chassis will work better from 73-91 . Also you don't have to shorten the chassis it's 3 inches narrower in wheelbase than a long bed truck of the same year
