Frame swap - C10 to K10
I saw a couple of other frame-related posts, but just wanted to clarify.
I have a 1985 C10 that I bought in GA, super clean body, no rot, just surface rust on hood and roof. I moved to PA two years ago and a 2WD truck in the northeast just doesn't work real well in the Winter. Wife and I had considered getting an older 4WD vehicle with a plow for our driveway (it's a bit long to shovel). Past two winters I've been borrowing a lawn tractor with a little plow on it (thanks Dad!). I recently found an 82 K10 with a plow that the body is rotted out on, I've been kicking around finding something like that and swapping my C10 body onto the K10 frame. Since the years are so close, I would think it would be a pretty straightforward swap, right? The K10 is stick, so if I wanted to keep that I guess I'd have to cut a hole in the floor, but if I keep my TH350 then that wouldn't be a problem. Other than that, most things should bolt right up, I would think. Any advice or things to look out for if I pull the trigger? |
