Re: '60-'66 Body On A '73-'87 Frame

I have a 64 C-20 someone previous put on a 73-87 2wd 3/4 ton frame. Sits real high in the front, looks like crap to me. I would like to bag it so I can drop frame. I have several donors, 1- 78 Blazer frame 4wd, 1- 85 2wd 1/2 ton LWB frame, back half of a 73-87 1/2 ton LWB frame and the 3/4 ton it came on. I am thinking about welding the 1/2 ton 2WD frame front suspension to the Blazer frame to get the straight part of the Blazer frame to let the cab sit lower, then add 1/2 ton frame to back of that to get the length and add 4 link with panhard to get it low. Rear notched frame or just built from scratch. Whatever will work. Use Blazer tank to keep it in the rear. Want to keep a Long Box and use it to tow. Power steering, power disc brakes up front. Motor either 350/350 turbo or Caddy 472/400 turbo. Any opinions on best route with what I have? Thanks for any input. Hope to get started this fall/winter. It will be a patina truck.
