Re: Frame strength help...

After thinking about it a little more, for the cost of boxing a frame on one of these, Id bet that you could find an original 4x4 truck. They're not super common, but not extinct either. Just another angle to think about.

Re: Frame strength help...

Hooey or not its a good thing such places like this forum exist where one can get a bunch of different answers and ideas.

It seems most folks who convert to 4wd on a 2wd frame don’t off-road and ‘63GENII isn’t running a lift or big wheels so there is likely less stress on the frame. Nice truck btw!

I agree with Ryan...extra support isn’t a bad thing. It may not be necessary but its peace of mind.

I have not found any K20 trucks or frames...it seems we live in a world of mostly '60-63 C10/C20's.

Thanks for the help guys!
