1965 C50 short stepside 4x4

[D Pope]

I'm new to the forum and thought some of you might be interested in my 4x4 project.
I got a 1977 C10 with rebuilt running gear but it was rusty and had a tree fall on it. So much for the 77 body.
I had a 65 C50 at the bottom of the yard with no rust so I figured I'd shuffle the two of them together and see what I could come up with.
First the 77 body had to go. Then the cab came off the 65.
I torched the front X-member with the front cab mount out of the 65 and made it fit the 77 frame. I kept the same distance from the axle centerline to the X-member so the front wheels would be centered in the wheel wells.
