value of c20 if converted to c10

[stacerbob]

I have this nice ochre 72 c20 that's in the classifieds with a service bed on it. my plan when I got it was to swap it to a swb 1/2 ton frame but have been having trouble finding a bed. I may have come up with one on a real swb coil spring frame.

Question is would it be worth more left alone? I would need about $2500 for it with the service bed or the long bed.

I bought a decent long bed this weekend same color to throw on it for the time being and get rid of the service bed.

if I was keeping it for myself I would want it on the coil spring factory short frame. If I bought this short bed and did all the swapping I would need about $3800 for it.

I was on the hunt for a 64-66 when I found this.

please remove this post if its not allowed just looking for advice

I'd say a c20 converted onto a c10 frame is not going to be worth either the original C10 or C20 from which it was hatched. UNLESS! you make a very nice custom out of it - then all bets are off. But if you leave it relatively stock - and then try to re-sell it, I'm guessing some folks will shy away from a hybrid. If they want a C20, they'll need the whole package - if they want a C10, they'll have this nagging feeling when they go to register it knowing it looks like a C10 because they swapped the emblems, or because they didn't change emblems and it looks like 5 lug C20. If you're gonna keep it - none of this matters! but since you're asking, I assume you're concerned about resale.
