I am trying to dwindle down some of the trucks at my house so I can try and get the 67 over here and have a place to keep it out of the weather.

So I'm a little behind schedule on this project

Anyways, based on the measurements I've taken it's actually going to be fairly simple. The front spring hangars line up with the original core support mounts on my '72, and that sets the wheel properly in the fender opening. Interestingly enough, it also keeps the engine in the forward mounting position (which is great, because in my K10 trying to work on the distributor is MISERABLE)

I am going to lift the front, engine, and trans/t-case cross members out of the V3500 frame and drop them into the C3500 frame after I remove the 2wd cross member - everything is close to lining up as is, there are a few holes I need to adjust.

Either way, I am planning to take a LOT of photos and do a write-up on the swap as I go. I'm also going to hydroboost and updating the brakes while I'm in there. This truck is going to be sweet! Just have a lot of rivets to cut in the meantime
