I have a complete chassis , just wondering if the frames are the same, they look like they are, I know I have to change cross members and drill holes for spring perches.

Re: 1 ton 4x4 conversion

c and k 30 1ton frames are bigger than 1/2 and 3/4 ton frames .

yes k30 had dana 60 front over the smaller dana 44 or corp 10 bolt axle .

the best way if you want the full k30 package is find a whole roller with good frame and driveline and swap your body over . . or find a k30 and fix it up .

Re: 1 ton 4x4 conversion

Thanks for the response , it's a fire wood truck, so doesn't have to be perfect but 4 wheel drive would sure be nice!
