Looks like you're making good progress. Hope you looked into the legal aspects of this for your state.

Alaska doesn't have emission inspections so I don't think there will be an issue. But I should probably check into it

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

That is going to be a cool truck. I have a 1991 suburban, last of the boxy looking trucks, and my future plans are to drop the body on a 3/4 ton 4x4 duramax chassis. I am interested to see how yours comes out.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

ok still need to trim the back of the frame. the bed almost fits

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

I like it! Where in AK are you?

I have often thought how cool would an old c10/20 be on a newer chassis/interior....

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

I'm in Valdez. I'm already building another one on a 2005 Duramax frame. I'm going to use the 05 interior and seats on that one

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

You are making that look a lot easier than it must be. Cool project.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

This. The OP is like now, just drop the bed on the frame, bolt it up... and you're done!

Crazy progress if this is happening real time. Cant wait to see the result! :metal:

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Nice job on thatone!

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

I agree, it seems so easy but there has to be some road blocks along the way right??

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Thats sick! I want to go the other way... I have a 2004 dirtymax I want to donate to repower my 70 c20. I think its more of a swap than I can manage though!

Keep up the updates! I am way up in Fairbanks, but the 12 weeks a year I get to drive my c20 makes it all worthwhile!

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

I think the beds where I want it

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

I'm not sure if I like where the front tire sits. Any of you guys have any input?

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

I do think the cab maybe should be back a little further at least an inch maybe 2? but ask me if i would have noticed it if you never mentioned it...

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

I was wondering how the wheels would line up with the body. The wheel base is 115" (tahoe) vs 116" (pickup)

Looking good thou. Not something I would ever try.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

The tahoe wheel base is 116 the pickup was 115

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

What are you doing for mounts to the body?

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

I'm using the 2001 cushions on the cab. The mounting location lines up with the framerail

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Looking real good. Great job. Jim

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Thanks

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

stainless steel brake lines installed and fuel lines are next

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

i now have the body where i want it for good

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

im going to tack weld the body in place so i can start building body mounts

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Man it's looking great! Keep the pics coming I have been thinking about this since I bought my 68 but the couple I have found keep the floor pan and cowl from the donor ride and I want to do the whole cab like your Dooing.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Thanks I appreciate it.
