time to see how it fits on the 2001 chassis

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

That's funny because those are my 2 vehicles! The C10 is a lot different than mine but I have the exact same Tahoe. Same color, interior, wheels and everything. Just mines an '02. How's the leather on that drivers seat lower bolster?

I've done a couple frame swaps (not on a C10)

The challenges seem the same. Track width, core support and frame kickup

Good luck.

Interesting concept here! Can't wait to see it take shape

I'm in, like to see this one take shape

Re: 1972 c10 on 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

ok just got a little more done in the last hour here you guys go

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Looking good. Has this swap been done before?

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

I've seen the swap done but they used the tahoe floor on those 2. And only 1 was ever completed.

Nice I would have driven both as is

I will preface what I'm about to say with: The ones that have posted on here didn't post on my thread. Also I would like to say that the work looks to be good and hopefully progressing like you hoped. Now when I posted about using one of the front frame sections from a 99-07 truck to clip into a 68 long frame to gain the power rack [I know the Tahoe has a box and torsion bars instead]and disc brakes cause I have literately a ton of those things laying around my shop, I was dang near burned at steak.[There were a few that stood up speaking of true hot rod spirit] I hope it is not a personal thing cause I have noticed when I do pose a question I hardly ever get a response. Anyways back to this thread and I do hope you have it turn out for you the way you want. It looks as though you know your way around a wrench and I'm sure it will be nice. Jim

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Subscribed....so far you have made the swap look easy (relatively speaking) :lol:, but still have issues to resolve...I'm sure.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Sweet! Looks great so far! Keep up the good work.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Neat! Will watch your progress.

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
 

Too bad you hacked up the Tahoe shell. You could have laid it on the '72 frame and sold it as a highly modified C-10:)

haha thats a good idea
