Just deciding whether I want to get a donor car or not as that’ll be a bit more money and I don’t want any more shells on the yard for the winter ... might be easier to just get a swap someone pulled out or maybe my shop teacher has one
Where I am you can get used Tahoe/Suburban quite cheap, but still runners.

If you plan to use items out truck it can be a good deal, but if you only want the engine/trans. It can quickly turn it into more work then it's worth. Unless your on a really tight budget, and can sell items to recoup expenses.

One option that maybe a lot of fun is to grab a 4x4, and convert it to awd. Then swap it under your C10, or graft the frames together. Someone did it with a trailblazer, and it didn't look to hard if your decent at fabbing stuff up.
