Re: 67 C20 LB Conversion to C10 SB Fleet.

OK So I posted this question in the general forums but not much input. So PLEASE help me out here. I started with C20 long bed. Had a C10 long bed that i parted out. I wanted a short bed which is now what it is. Well what I mean by that is that I cut down that C10 chassis. So now its short. I am starting to wonder if I should just cut down the C20 frame and keep it with the Truck.

Reasons

It has a matching serial number.

It has 3/16" steel versus the C10 at 1/8", so thicker and stronger.

So i cant help but wonder will it help with handling and drag racing if I have a stiffer stronger frame?

I think I am going to go ahead and do it but I really want to know what all you guys think that have done a ton of fab work, because I am really considered a beginner at best.

If you want to see where the truck is right now just click on my build in my signature.

Thanks for the help.
