Can I bolt in 88+ cradle/suspension to 67-69 C10?
I am selling my 55 and 57 Chevy trucks, and am going to build a C10 on a budget. Here's my delimma, I have a 90 GMC 1500 SWB frame/drive train and suspension. It's already got drop spindles on it, and the rear end is geared right with a posi unit. I've seen all kinds of info on swapping a 73-87 pickup cradle into a 67-69 C10, but can I do the same with the 90 parts? I would like to be able to use them since I already have $$ invested, but can't find any write-ups. I have seen a few bits here and there about swapping the 88+ spindles to keep it 6 lug, but that's about it. Someone please shed some light here for me! Also, if possible, I would really like to just roll the whole cradle under the front end and use the better motor mounts, etc. if possible. Also, can anybody tell me the wheelbase on a 67 short box? I would be ecstatic if I could also use the aluminum driveshaft from the 90......

huh. Don't think I realized that! Never mind then..... What about at least the front spindles and suspension (and rear end and wheelbase)?
