Looks like you're making good progress. Hope you looked into the legal aspects of this for your state.

Alaska doesn't have emission inspections so I don't think there will be an issue. But I should probably check into it

Ok I have the bed supports tacked in place and hopefully this will be the last time I pull the bed off

[freemoto_xxx]

I am getting really good at pulling this bed off by myself tho

[freemoto_xxx]

Body is off again and the body mounts and now finished. I coated them with some por15

[freemoto_xxx]

Tomorrow ill start to reassemble... Hope this will be the last time I put the body back on.

Looks great so far man! Can't wait to see the final product!

[freemoto_xxx]

Ok the cab is back on for the final time. Now just test fitting the rest of the body then time to make it run

[freemoto_xxx]

Nice job on thatone!

That is going to be a cool truck. I have a 1991 suburban, last of the boxy looking trucks, and my future plans are to drop the body on a 3/4 ton 4x4 duramax chassis. I am interested to see how yours comes out.

ok still need to trim the back of the frame. the bed almost fits

[ak808]

I like it! Where in AK are you?

I have often thought how cool would an old c10/20 be on a newer chassis/interior....

I'm in Valdez. I'm already building another one on a 2005 Duramax frame. I'm going to use the 05 interior and seats on that one

Hey man very project. I just joined 10 seconds ago. Where in ak do you live if you don’t mind me asking? Idk know if I can pm you...

I have a 72 c10 that I want to do exactly what you have done and so I have a couple questions if you don’t mind. Thx a bunch

You are making that look a lot easier than it must be. Cool project.

This. The OP is like now, just drop the bed on the frame, bolt it up... and you're done!

Crazy progress if this is happening real time. Cant wait to see the result!

[swamp rat]

I agree, it seems so easy but there has to be some road blocks along the way right??

[ak808]

Thats sick! I want to go the other way... I have a 2004 dirtymax I want to donate to repower my 70 c20. I think its more of a swap than I can manage though!

Keep up the updates! I am way up in Fairbanks, but the 12 weeks a year I get to drive my c20 makes it all worthwhile!

[freemoto_xxx]

I think the beds where I want it

[freemoto_xxx]

I'm not sure if I like where the front tire sits. Any of you guys have any input?

[swamp rat]

I do think the cab maybe should be back a little further at least an inch maybe 2? but ask me if i would have noticed it if you never mentioned it...

[tdangle]

I was wondering how the wheels would line up with the body. The wheel base is 115" (tahoe) vs 116" (pickup)

Looking good thou. Not something I would ever try.
