C10 TO K5 conversion.

I'll have to agree. The truck was a nice one. And again, alot of nice ones have rotted away in folks yards that could be ressurected. I kniw of at least a half dozen in my area that are "gonna be fixed up one day"..... Right

I wish they had made it a long bed Jimmy and extended the top to match.

Hmmm-
cutting a suburban down into a crew cab is ok. But a regular C20 into k5 isn't.

I say, do what ever-the hell you want to it. It’s yours.

It isn't with me. I think it's a shame. But that's me. I don't like crewcabs in any year. Don't care for extended cabs either. For me a truck is a traditional cab. I think if you need a back seat, that's what Blazers and Suburbans are for. A Suburban is a short bed crew cab. And better yet, it can also be a regular cab long bed. I think it's foolish to eff that great concept up to build a long-ass hard to maneuver truck that will likely never haul anything. But again, that's me. And the reason you never saw me say this before is because I believe in "to each his own"

Nobody said it was bad to cut a C/20 into a K/5. At least I never did. It's about taking a fine example of one as a donor when there are plenty of "donor grade" trucks to use for that. The cab could be half rotted, undesirable, and still be a good donor for that project

I myself would like to find a crappy long bed truck, or all the pieces, and create a Blazer-like vehicle. I also would like to create a Blazer length woody wagon, combining my mechanical and woodworking skills. The Blazer-like vehicle would be a tub with no doors and no top. Just a funtime summer beach cruiser

Didn't Chevrolet once sell an open truck, with just a canopy on top, as a Sedan Delivery -- Thirties era?

I like your 104'' Woody concept, but with a Surrey top.The SUN is a real killer here.

Yes, the Canopy Express or what we call a Huckster. They were built with Panel Truck sheet metal, and earlier with wood. That would be another "would be truck to create. They had canvas sides. GM made them through the Advance Design series
