Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Well, got back out to the garage this weekend. Worked a few hours Friday night and most the day Saturday. I got the rest of the IFS brackets off of the frame and filled the rest of the holes in the front section of the frame. Smoothed everything over and put a coating on the frame to prevent rust.
Next step is to transfer the bed and cab over to the new frame and add the body mounts to the new frame. I also need to measure how much longer behind the rear axle I will need to extend the frame, seeing how the frame was a short bed truck.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
So, in Indiana (like other states) you can register a license plate that is from the same year as the manufacture date. Well, I was bored on eBay the other night and came across one that has my racing number on it and seemed to be in decent shape so I bought it. We'll have to seen when this old girl is done if they'll let me register it or not. Either way it'll be good wall art if they don't.
The other one is one I had custom made off a eBay seller. Figured it'll look good on the front or on the back at car shows if they don't let me register the vintage plate.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Last night we got the bed off the old frame and on to the new frame. We fashioned a lift brace out of 2x4's to so we could use the engine hoist to move the bed. Time to cut the old mounts off the other frame and fab them up to work with this frame. So the truck is sitting on a set of 29 1/2" tall tires on the back, with the bed on the frame, from the ground to the top of the bed it is 59" tall. For a size comparison I had my buddy stand next to the truck. The cab is sitting loose and ready to be transferred over to the new frame as well, but we lost steam last night so we called. Hopefully by the end of the weekend we have the cab and bed mocked into place and we can start figuring out mounting locations.

Re: C20 to K20 Conversion "Simply Toxic"
Looks like a good start on your project and a lot of work on that frame. What are your plans for mounts - isn't this frame considerably wider than the C20's?
