Re: Frame swapped k5

That would be a great project if you have a clean body needing a chassis etc. I think it would make a great daily driver using a GMT 360 platform ( trailblazer, envoy etc) , ive dreamt about this myself and would like to see some examples as well.
We have a mentioned above Saab Aero with an LS2 which is a TBSS with different sheet metal basically and i have measured the track width and it is roughly only an inch narrower then my 72 2wd blazer. If you could shorten the frame safely using the factory welds that are there putting front and rear frame together it would be hard to tell the frame was modified at all

Here is a guy doing it right now to a C10:
