Re: 1963 c30 project help

Changing the front end will be less work. As for an 80's C30 frame being boxed- I don't remember ever seeing one boxed. I would think that boxing the existing frame would be the way to go. I think the big deal will be finding springs for the front end to support the extra 600#.

yes I agree with you. I have a 01 dodge 3500, i honestly considered trying to put the can on that frame and then i wouldn have to worry about any suspension or engine mount modifications. But i think that would be chessy and it most likely wont sit right. But it would be way easier. I would rather modifiy a way to sit that body on there than do all of the work on this frame
