New Guy with a 56 3100
Looking for some advice, I'm in the Navy and currently deployed and will be returning home soon. My wonderful wife bought me this 56 3100 for $600 dollars for my birthday. I am just wondering what is the easiest frame swap to give me better suppension and steering. Plus I'm going to put a 383 in with a 700r4. Just need some advice.

Dave do you know how much of a mod it will be to do that swap.

Re: New Guy with a 56 3100
I haven't done it but from what I hear its not bad. You use the cab mounts from the old chassis. The bed will have to sit up higher but it looks better higher.
Here is a picture of a 58 on an 86 c10 I think he had to move the rear spring hangers forward a few inches. But it looks good Last edited by dwcsr; 06-25-2010 at 03:13 AM. |
