1985 Corvette parts can it be done

[SickAss 62 C10]

Ok so a new monkey wrench in my plans my father-n-law is offering me a running 1985 Corvette fiberglass is shot . My questions are is it possible to use any of it on my 1962 C10 build ?Is it super costly to do ? Is there tons of fabricating involved ?Most of all is it to much for a first time build by a novice ? please bear with me and all my questions. thanks

search C4 swaps in the google search above (make sure and click the 67-72chevytrucks, or it will search the web), lots of people have done the corvette suspension swaps

here is a recent one:

i was looking for a cheap 85 and up corvette. I was going for the Tuned Port injection for my truck. I found a 92 corvette engine that I have but might not use it after all.

Check out 60-66 Projects and Builds.
65 sub is doing one with vette suspension.
The build is called, My Suburban's Twisted Little Sister.
Looks like alot of skill and work involved.

Check Flat Out Engineering and Progressive Automotive they both sell crossmembers to install c4 suspensions. Fabricating your own mounts is just careful measuring and some attention to detail

just checked out your thread '' 65 SUB''. Excellent job thats a sick project and the way you documented all the steps WOW awesome. thanks, i think i'll give it a shot on the next build. a 1963 C10 S/B with a full corvette suspension and LT1 engine. thanks to all you guys for getting back to me on this it really gives me the confidence i need for a build like this. For now Lets stay focused on my first project a 1962 C10 with a pontiac 400 motor i'll post pics soon

The Corvette engine and trans would be easy. The suspension change would be a bit much for a novice.
