C10 and C20 Compatability
'71 Chevy C10 and '69 GMC C20. Are body panels, doors, and most chassis and interior parts interchangable? Might have found a parts truck for my '71 C10.

Yes, those parts all interchange.
The frame on a 3/4 ton is slightly thicker. Even though the frame is thicker all components attached to the frame will still transfer over. The trailing arms on a 3/4 ton are beefier as well. That actually makes the 3/4 ton trailing arms more desireable. The front suspension has a few differences as well.

Re: C10 and C20 Compatability
In my case I bought doors that can from a dump truck 2 for $75.00 so i had to take em! got them to my shop and noticed they were shorter by 3/16 !! so I drilled out all the spot welds & pulled the glass frame up/ re welded it lot of work but worth it (doors fit great) . don't know if some of the assembly plants had different door jigs ? measure your doors&make sure the new used doors are the same. sorry for the length of this reply. best of luck, Pat
