Hey guys im contemplating turning my SWB 68 into a 71 Cheyenne .
Here is the deal
I have a 68 SWB C10 Franken truck
The Chassis is a SWB 70 with 71 5 lug rear end , and 71 front steering components with 5 lug disc brakes upfront ( pretty much a 71-72 chassis since that was one of the main difference between the 67-70 / 71-72)
The Cab and front end is a 68 ( PO deleted the side markers to make it look like a 67
) and the vin tells me the cab/front end originally came from a 3/4 ton 68 with AC cab.
Here is the tricky park. The donor truck i got to remove the suspension and rear end is a 71 LWB 1/2 ton with cheyenne emblems on the side ( no glove box sticker ) , the body is really straight with absolutely no rust . Just one minor dent on the front fender but it is no AC cab ( my 68 has ac cab ).
I am contemplating putting the 71 cab/front end on my "68". What do you guys say ??
The 71 vin says its 4x2 / v8 / 1/2 ton / pu / 71 / Flint michigan
I love the look of the 68 swb , but i think i love the look of a two tone 71/72 cheyenne with the side upper and lower trim with some nice 20-22 inch wheels ....
