'46/'72 Chevy Hybrid
I have a 1946 Chevy I am getting ready to build. I know it may be viewed as blasphemy by some people, but I am going to try to use the frame and chassis from my '72 C-10 under it. The reason I am posting this is, does anybody have or know where I can get the specifications for the frame on my '72? I also need chassis spec if possible. I have all of the specs for my '46 and I don't think this swap will be too difficult. I will obviously have to fabricate body mounts, but the wheel base and box length are identical. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: '46/'72 Chevy Hybrid
What are you going to do about the difference in the width of the 2 vehicles?

Re: '46/'72 Chevy Hybrid
That's why I am looking for frame specs for the '72. I need to see what the curb width is. I have a complete chassis in my garage so if I can use it I will. If not I have a '92 S-10 that I can use. The frame will just need to be cut down 7".

Re: '46/'72 Chevy Hybrid
Also my '46 has the rear end out of a '70 C-10 in it and it fit very well. Just had to change to leaf spring perches.

Re: '46/'72 Chevy Hybrid
Folks use S-10 chassis' and put AD (47-55 First series) bodies on them...so, it would seem to me that the 46 you asked about would fit better on the S-10 chassis.

Re: '46/'72 Chevy Hybrid
Thanks, Bruceman. That should help. If the C-10 chassis won't work, the S-10 it is.
