Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
That's funny because those are my 2 vehicles! The C10 is a lot different than mine but I have the exact same Tahoe. Same color, interior, wheels and everything. Just mines an '02. How's the leather on that drivers seat lower bolster?

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
I've done a couple frame swaps (not on a C10)
The challenges seem the same. Track width, core support and frame kickup Good luck.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
I've seen the swap done but they used the tahoe floor on those 2. And only 1 was ever completed.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
I will preface what I'm about to say with: The ones that have posted on here didn't post on my thread. Also I would like to say that the work looks to be good and hopefully progressing like you hoped. Now when I posted about using one of the front frame sections from a 99-07 truck to clip into a 68 long frame to gain the power rack [I know the Tahoe has a box and torsion bars instead]and disc brakes cause I have literately a ton of those things laying around my shop, I was dang near burned at steak.[There were a few that stood up speaking of true hot rod spirit] I hope it is not a personal thing cause I have noticed when I do pose a question I hardly ever get a response. Anyways back to this thread and I do hope you have it turn out for you the way you want. It looks as though you know your way around a wrench and I'm sure it will be nice. Jim

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
Subscribed....so far you have made the swap look easy (relatively speaking)
 , but still have issues to resolve...I'm sure.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
Too bad you hacked up the Tahoe shell. You could have laid it on the '72 frame and sold it as a highly modified C-10
