Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
Very cool build! Can you post some more pictures and details on what you did with the radiator core support, hood latch, headlight buckets, etc?

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
Any reason why you went with a Tahoe frame instead of a Silverado frame?
Great work, I enjoyed reading about it and checking out the pictures. I was thinking about doing the same thing with a 04 Suburban and a 72 Suburban. |

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
The Tahoe wheelbase was 116 and the c10 wheelbase was 115! That made it a lot easier for the swap. The newer Silverado rcsb wheelbase is 119 so it would have to be cut down or the axle moved

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
Strange but glad yours is going so well, I am doing a chassis swap on my 71 from an 03 s/w. I had to cut the frame down 3 inches am having to modify all the mounts, trim the front supports and engineer bumper mounts and modify the 03 factory fuel cell so the cab will sit down. Because of the big difference in chassis width, I most likely will been doing something with the rear diff. just to be able to put a decent size tire/wheel combo on it.
