Re: Newbie needs help with project
The later frames are different. It would be much easier to seek out a '64 - '66 K-10 lwb chassis than it would be to convert your present truck to 4whd. They're out there, keep looking until you find one.

Re: Newbie needs help with project
It seems to be a popular swap going to an 70-80's 4x4 frame, I recently saw one on an 84 chassis. Of course there will be work involved in it but if you just have to make it a 4x4 go for it.
Good luck! |

Re: Newbie needs help with project
The easiest frame swap to convert to a 4x4 would be a '60-'66 frame and running gear, as already mentioned. The second easiest would be a '67-'72 frame and running gear. To mount your body on a '73-'87 frame and running gear will require a significant amount of work. Going that way will give you about a 3" body lift. This is acceptable on a 4x4, but not on a 2wd, IMO.
What will work for you will depend on your mechanical,fabrication and welding skills.
