Frame Swap Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SunSoaked · 08-13-2015, 10:02 AM

Anybody swapped a frame from a "70's (assuming 73-79 era) truck underneath a 67-72 body?

I ran across a 3/4 frame (complete/rolling) for cheap and am seriously rethinking my current M1008/69 K10 hybrid setup.

It appears the rear shocks mount outside the frame rails-perfect for my rear tank conversion. I know its 2WD but, swapping the front spring mounts from my D60 isn't that hard, I have already done it on my current frame.

I'm regretting not using the M1008 frame I pulled the axles/springs from.

Appreciate the feedback and would really like to hear from somebody who has actually done or seen it done.
