Re: LWB Fleetside to SWB Stepside in Sweden
Here are the sizes of the cross sills (in millimetres), you will see from the first picture there are quite a few holes in them, if you can ship some into Sweden at a reasonable cost it will probably be quicker to buy them

Re: LWB Fleetside to SWB Stepside in Sweden
Welcome aboard . There are quiet a few C10's in the UK I even managed to buy a second hand door at a swop meet a few years ago . Last year I also purchased a cab over here in the UK . So bear that in mind there are a few good shows and swop meets , it may be worth a trip .

Re: LWB Fleetside to SWB Stepside in Sweden
the mounts on your frame use metal cup motor mounts for a 79 chevy truck.
the loose rubber mount you have there is for a 72 or older car . the ones you need look like this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/oe...xsQaAnIB8P8HAQ |

Re: LWB Fleetside to SWB Stepside in Sweden
What you need are the style of 'clamshells' in the link that 60chevyjim posted. Those are very common and I would be surprised if you can not find them in Sweden. They are used on all GM trucks from '73 and up thru about 2000. Also used in all Chevy cars from about '73 and up as well. It is possible that the center to center measurement of the engine mounts on the frame brackets is not correct. Just something to check before you try and set the engine in place. They appear to be correct, but it is worth checking.

Re: LWB Fleetside to SWB Stepside in Sweden
If you look through my thread you will be amazed at what you can get in a case Front discs ,drop spindles , calipers , power steering box plus much more and that was on one trip . Extra case cost is still cheaper than shipping and import duty .

Here's some pics and measurements... Hope this helps, I didn't think to measure the brackets location on the cross sill at first, but will get those and post soon...
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The hole on the bracket is centered at 9 inches from either end and 31.75 inches center to center between the brackets. ![]() If I can be of further assistance, don't hesitate to ask... ![]()
