Re: Frame Options, Need Advice
The squarebody frame will work. Allbeit with some work and cost.
I have a 78 swb and a 59 swb. I havent pulled the wheels off to measure but best i can tell the squares are about 4.5" wider in the front. The c-10s gained 3/4" per side in 71 when they went to disc front brakes. So a drum brake c-10 front would be about 3 3/4" wider than a TF. CPP makes a modular drop spindle that narrows the c-10 track 3/4" per side. Then offcourse the PB dropmember gives 2" drop/ 2" narrowed/ 1" forward if you want to spend the $$$.
A buddy of mine has a 56 gmc on an 81 c-10 frame. His front wheels stick out past the wheel wells and the rear is tight but fits. as with anything, the ride hight you are wanting and the wheel style/offset a lot to do with it.
