frame swap turning a 66 LWB into a SWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 70 SWB frame and my buddy has a 66 LWB. Can we take his body and just bolt it to the short box frame? What are the big differences between them if there are any? Anybody done this already? If so Pics Please! Thanks in advance guys.

my dad sis this on his CC 1964. everything bolted up except you will need to tweak the core support and add some holes for it in the frame. I will see if he has pics but I doubt it. The cab mounts should be the same though

So did you ever come across any pics of that cab mount? We should be starting the swap in a few weeks when the weather starts to warm up.
