My Questions about a rebuild

[70-Chevy]

WHAT I HAVE: 1969 Chevy, C-10, 1/2 ton, p/u, longbed, 6-lug, drum brakes.

WHAT I BOUGHT: I bought a 1971 shortbed rolling chassis, 5 lug, with stock front disc brakes.

1st Question: On my 69, I have 6-lug, deep dish, Mickey Thompson rally wheels that I love. The chassis I bought needs new caliper and rotors. Is it possible to take the 69's setup and put it on the front end of the '71 chassis and then order 6 lug calipers and rotors for the 71 chassis? I think I can but I dont know?

2nd Question: The shortbed chassis has a two-piece driveshaft. Is it hard and how much work does it take to put a one-piece in?

3rd Question: I put a brand new stainless steel brake line kit on the 69 a year ago. I know it will all transfer over to the 71 except for the long pieces that go from around the crossmember to the rear since the 69 is a longbed and the 71 is a shortbed. Is it possible the cut the brake lines shorter to make them work? What do I have to do to make this work?

4th Question: How much does a complete new wiring harness cost for one of these trucks? And what is the best one to go with?

5th Question: Is there a place that sells low profile hard tonneau covers?

6th Question:Is it hard to sink a fuel cell in between the framerails at the rear of these trucks?


Any pictures of previous work that I can check out would help me out alot. Thanks for all the help.
