83 front end swap to a 67-72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

svenskey · 08-24-2011, 11:20 AM

I am new to this site and i was wondering if it is possible to put the front end of a 67-72 chevy c10 on the frame/cab of an 83 c10??

I just purchased the 83, but am in love with the front end of the 70. Or is it just easier to drop the motor i have into a different rolling chasis. If u could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The 67-72 Chevy front end won't match to the cab of the 83. To do this, you would need to swap the whole 67-72 body including cab over.

Ive seen plenty of grafts of two different trucks like that, but I'm not a fan of it. It's not going to be a direct bolt on it would all have to be fabricated to attach and make the panels flow together.
