Since I blew the motor in my 72 C10 I have been searching the want ads for a 350 or a 305 that I can throw in.... Well I happened to stumble on a local 72 K20 that is in GREAT mechanical condition. Super strong 350ci, muncie sm465. And he wants $600 for it! Problem is the body is shot. He is throwing in fenders (inner AND outer), hood, and a bed that is in great shape!! My question: Can I swap frames (use my C10 on the K20)? My C10 frame is immaculate. The K20 frame has some rust in the rear. Nothing too major, just some scaling and two cross members need replaced under the bed. Also, the C10 has coils, and the K20 has leafs. Will the leafs bolt right up to the C10 frame? Any and all help is appreciated!
