what to do?

[sweetbobby]

I have a 1971 K series 3/4 ton 4x4 PU, great running, great drivetrain. Frame is fair- but usable. Cab is rough underneath. Love the truck, lot of work to fix the cab. I found a 1968 1/2 ton 2 WD, with a freshly sandblasted frame, very solid cab, no drivetrain . They are asking 3 grand for that one. The dilemma? IS it better to buy the 68 and take what i can from mine off, definitely want to keep as a 4x4, or try to just buy the cab from the 68? Not sure if I can use the axles from the k20, and if i can do I have to weld shackles on the 68 frame to accept the front leafs from the 71?? Looking for some knowledge/advice. Thanks.
