Re: 69 C20 4x4 project - the mutant

After getting a chance to think things over while I was injured and check out what I was dealing with as far as the PO half-way converting the truck to a 4x4 I have decided to turn the 69 C20 truck back into a rear wheel drive truck but it will become a half ton with the 6-lug truck arm 12-bolt that was in my 67 C10 and the front suspension from the same truck plus some 93 vintage 2500 LD 6-lug disc brake parts for good measure since I have them on hand.

It will also get the 396 & T-400 out of my Camaro to make room for the 6.0 liter LSx & 4L80E swap that the car will be getting. No sense letting a good engine go to waste. The 69 C20 will also get chopped down to make it a short bed. Eventually it will get a step side bed and a 67 / 68 front clip to complete the transformation into what I want it to be.

I am going forward with the cab swap as I originally purchased this truck for so the 67 K10 will get this factory A/C cab so it can more easily get A/C. The 69 C20 will get the 67 cab which will get the rust repaired as needed.

Probably start a new thread for the reversion to C10.
