Re: just hit the donor truck Lottery

Cool.
I think there's a thread in here that mentions many of the things you want to grab off it before you take it to scrap.
I know I missed many things I should have grabbed from my donor.

Re: just hit the donor truck Lottery

further searching and answers to posts I found a kit that allows you to install the 83 axle under the 63 truck,, CPP parts # 6072RCK or 6372DRCK

seems its limited to a 3" axle tube, my guess is someone can fab brackets to fit a different dia tube

anybody done this swap?

You can get the axle brackets from Captianfab, I don't know where they're listed on the forum but he sells many other parts

I bought some brackets from him for a 3.25" axle tube since I'm using a Ford 8.8 and I know he makes a few different sizes.

Re: just hit the donor truck Lottery

Yes I do make 5 different size of trailing arm mounts.

http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=620836

I don't currently have a panhard bar mount, but I am working on duplicating the factory '63-'64 mount.

The 8.5" 10 bolt found under a '83 C10 will have a 3" axle tube diameter
