67-88 to 96 cab swap
hello, ive got a 96 k2500 manual 6.5 diesel 4x4 and just looking to mess around with over the winter, new to the forums thing and just looking for ideas so don't judge me lol. my 6.5 is a good strong truck, and im thinking of doing a cab swap to an early model chev(ideally 67-72 but open to square bodies). keeping all powertrain in place and hopefully modding/dropping cab onto the frame. I'm not worried about having a show truck as ill probably pull the donor cab off some landmark in one of the neighbours fields back home. the endgame would wind up bed-linering the cab and throwing a flat deck on the rear end, so in my mind the biggest ordeal would be wiring, cab mounts/width, and trans tunnel (lots of cut and weld).
I was wondering if anyone has journeyed into a money pit like this and how it worked out? cant find much on the search functions or the old google. was just hoping I could steal some info off of anyone whose got some slick ideas/experience. appreciate anything you got, thank ya much. |

Take tour of the diesel side of the board I'm pretty sure you will find some information there. You might try reposting there too.
