Frame swap
Will a 80s c10 frame fit under a 63 cab?

Re: Frame swap
It has been done. But it takes a lot of fab work. From what I remember you have to put a body lift under the cab. I think it would be much easier to transfer the front cross member to the 63' frame.
frame swap has been discussed many times here. Here is one example http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ighlight=frame

Re: Frame swap
This question has been asked many, many, many times. I always answer with don't do it unless your local laws allow and you're building a lifted 4x4. And yes I have done it before. I have a thread that shows the results.
