Good Idea?

[duke1622]

Hello All,

Thinking of grabbing a later model C10 to use as a parts truck for my 2nd generation '55. Would be using front suspension, rear-end, trans... The goal is to set the '55 up so it goes runs down the highway with everyone else. As mentioned before, I'm intending to keep most of the truck stock, but would like the benefits of disc brakes and higher gears found in the later C10s. Is this a good idea, and if so, is there a year period to search for. I'm finding plenty of early '80s, dirt cheap, so any help would be great. Thanks!
