Conversion?
How difficult is it to convert a C20 to a C10?
Are the frames different? Can i buy 5 lug disk conversion kits for them?

Re: Conversion?
Easy. Just simple parts replacement.
I believe the 20-series frame is heavier (thicker/larger channel) Yes,you can buy a kit. But,you could also buy the used C/10 stuff or a donor truck. If you aren't looking for drop spindles you can find stock parts for reasonable money from someone who installed drop spindles

I'm sure stock spindles with shorter springs would be all I want. Who would make the kit for the spindles and disk brakes? Need ideas. Would this just involve swapping the front spindles only? or also the upper and lower A arms? Guess it would also mean swapping out the rear axles or whole rear end to get 5 lug?

Re: Conversion?
I'd just drop a stock 5 lug crossmember out of a truck. Only 10 bolts hold them in. I bet you could do a front rear complete swap for under $500. Unless you have sentimental value in it, you may be better off just buying a c10
