So Im not even close to knowing how this works ... Do you take the spring mounts from K20 and just line everything up so the wheels are centered in the wheel wells on the future K30? I know there is more to it than that, but is that the basics? What all else are you going to have to do to the front area to make it 4x4 compatible? Aren't 4x4 engine cross members different? What about rear gears matching the new front axel? And how about the C30 style wheels, do they just bolt to the 3/4 ton axel like any 8 lug wheel would? Are you changing out the dually rear or keeping it?

I know, a bunch of questions haha! I have a C30 and extra 3/4 ton running gear. The cab is spoken for but I have another and an extra cab light roof. Probably nothing I would ever do, but I'm really cleaning house right now and I have a just in case pile lol.
