Another San Diego Native checking in...I have a '61 and Im about to update the front end on it, with a '73 front and rear.

Can Anyone give any pointers, I've already read a lot of threads about it but some "local" help would be nice....

Gracias,
Roberto

So your going with the 73 front disc brake set up. And the 73 rear for the 5 lug setup? I have a 69 and I think our trucks share the same rearend. I just changed my axles to 5 lug that was it. Would not have changed, but I had some 5 lug rallyes. Do you have a doner truck?

I have a 72 C20 Deluxe. All original except rims. I got it with 17" American Racing wheels on it. 350/350 just had the engine redone, nothing fancy just want it to last me a few more years until I figure out what I want to do with it. The only thing that upsets me is some idiot cut out the stereo and did a terrible job so I need to fix it some how or just clean it up. It is a long bed with the extra storage box built into bed but not sure what kind of lock it takes. It came with a tool box and it has an actual Rhino lining. I traded my 2001 supercharged Xterra for the truck plus $800. My wife seems to like it and my two year old loves it, it will be hers someday since I sold her 1970 nova. =( Oh, it has headers which I want to get rid of and put back on stock manifolds. That's in in a nut shell.

VDOG,

Nice to hear from someone close, at least only 2 hours away....I just made a deal to buy the rolling chassis from the guy....

He still has a bed, cab, front clip and two sets of doors for the '73 c10..

I was going to use the frame but Im prolly gonna junk it, too many what ifs with putting my '61 on a '73 frame not to mention the labor and cost lol...

Look on San Diego craigslist with the title 1973 c10, its a black truck...

Theres also a San Diego Post, but I dont think the guys out there keep it up.
Your idea of just using the parts is a good way to go instead of trying to drop your truck on the 73 frame.
