Hello, I have a question for all ya'll 60-66 truck lovers. I'm in the middle of doing a cab-bed swap on an 82 and 83. Both are lwb and should be no problem. I was talking to a guy at work, he has a well worn 66 LWB that he loves, I mentioned that I would be selling or scraping a 83 C-10 lwb frame, we thought if they would swap, I could sell it to him. I read that a short wheel base is "off" by a few inches, but what about the lwb? I don't think he would want to cut and weld the frame sections together, so I was hopeing the body would just bolt on with few modifications. Any help on this would be great. Thanks, David
