well here it is I ran across this 65 Divco milk truck and I was trying to figure out what to do with it cause I don't won't to send it to the crusher and I'm a true believer of everything can be fixed but anyway does anyone know if I can take the body off and sit on a 67-72 C10 frame thanks guys for the help

WOW ,that thing is sooo cool.

I like it! Would look sweet on a set of Diesel Wheels and laying on the ground. I don't have any information on fitting on a 67-72 frame, but sure anything is possible. I would check into the wheel base difference between the two frames, and go from there.

Thanks guys it will be sweet once it's finished it's gonna be a long road ahead but the good thing is just about everything on it that's rusted is flat and unbolts so maybe it won't be to bad. But anyway I own a 72 C10 and the wheel base is the exact same as the milk truck

I would love to have something like that to use as a mobile tool box/shop truck.

Thats a very nice truck you have.
I think you are on the right track with the frame, but keep in mind that the Divco have the steps into the van and the newer frame may be a little wider if so you will need to alter the floor but that may be needed to add seats anyway. If you find a 3/4 or 1 ton truck frame it should work better because the weight of the truck. You can also consider putting the newer crossmember and rearend on the old frame, this maybe be the best way to do it if the old frame is still solid.

I am considering this on my 1946 Chevy Package Delivery with the 127 wheelbase also.

Be extra carefull with this one its a very top heavy truck.
