Re: k5 frame swap

Not that I've seen. Why are you replacing the frame?

Re: k5 frame swap

What are you trying to accomplish? If you are going to convert to 2wd, you can get a 2wd crossmember and get it to fit the 4x4 frame. If your frame is rusted and you are keeping it 4x4, just get another 4x4 frame. It seems the Astro is just a front subframe anyhow.
