Frame swap question.

[Duvall]

I am trying to figure out if a 67-72 truck body will fit on any other year frames.
I purchased a 72 basket case k20. Not real happy with the condition of the frame. Will a 73-to 87 frame fit? I have tried to find info but only found a couple threads and they say the early body won't fit correctly on the newer frame.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are differences from front to back. It can be done.
This guy has a good video of a side by side comparison.

Thank you.
That pretty much answers my question.
It's not going to work for me.

I have a customer that put his on a Tahoe frame

That had to be a lot of fab work. But worth it I bet.

Tahoe chassis for me, but it is a lot of fabrication.
with stock setup they sit kinda high (like4x4), going to add drop spindles.

If you are going to keep it 4x4 don’t put it on a Tahoe frame, keep the front solid axle. That’s my personal opinion. It can be made to work with a square body frame but it will require an inch or so body lift to get everything sitting level. Also the squares have a little longer wheel base.
