Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
Looks like you're making good progress. Hope you looked into the legal aspects of this for your state.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
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.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
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.... |

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

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
I agree, it seems so easy but there has to be some road blocks along the way right??

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
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! |

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
I'm not sure if I like where the front tire sits. Any of you guys have any input?

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
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...

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
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.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
What are you doing for mounts to the body?

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
Man it's looking great! Keep the pics coming I have been thinking about this since I bought my 68 but the couple I have found keep the floor pan and cowl from the donor ride and I want to do the whole cab like your Dooing.
