hey guys new here. own a 66 c10 stepside longbed project. i am hoping to convert it 4x4 and had a question. i was looking like 1978 to 1982 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 for a doner. do u think it would be a huge project to fit the suspension axles transfer case ext. on my 66. or would i be easier to just fit the body of my rig to the newer chassis. thanks

Re: new member 66c10
Welcome aboard, I don't want to suggest any answers to your question since it's a 4x4, but someone will.

Re: new member 66c10
Which way to go partly depends on your fabrication skills. It is my opinion to keep your original frame and add the necessary spring hangers, crossmembers, etc. for your 4x4 conversion. While I have not done a 4x4 conversion, I have installed a '60-'66 body onto a '73-'87 frame. I would not do it again.
