Project Questions

Hello All,

I am wanting to rebuild by 1972 Chevy C20 - Custom Camper. However, I am wanting to change the front and rear end. My truck is currently a 3/4 Ton with 8 lug nuts. I want to change it to a 1/2 ton front and rear end so there are only 5 lug nuts. Also want to make it a short bed. Is this possible or am I better off looking for another truck??

Re: Project Questions

Anything is possible, but I'd say you're better off finding a short c10. You can usually find short step-side trucks for fairly cheap and then hold out for a take-off short fleet bed or get a re-pop.
