68 cab on 90's chasis

[rex855]

Hey guys,

Relatively new to the forum. I've been sitting on my stepside project for a min. I just scored a a dirty cheap 90's truck and was contemplating if i should just throw my 68 cab on the 90's frame. But i was wondering if anybody has ever done a cab swap onto a early 90's chevy truck?

Pros: tbi fuel injection, all brakes are good, fuel tank mounted outside of cab.

I figure this would/ might be easier and less expensive then rebuilding my old frame, front and rear end and all the brakes.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks,

Rex

A mid 90's truck is now 16yrs old & likely needs servicing (some rebuilding). I would service/upgrade what you already have before embarking on that big of a swap just for rebuilt suspension & brakes.

I agree, rebuild the original frame and suspension and you will be much happier in the long run. If you got the other truck dirt cheap sell it for a profit and put the $$$ into the 68

For the time and work its a lot easier to do a under bed gas tank and a efi swap is easy or a full blown ls1 swap.

measure the frame,suspension and body mount areas to compare the two trucks.G/L
