I have a $100 12B rear, coupled with a new brake job and flip kit and can drop the rear 6" or so for about $300.

Then it's all cosmetic work, which will not be bad at all because of the overall condition of the 20. I have a slight bow in the tailgate, but have access to several at the U-Pull It. All the sheet metal is the same between the 10 and 20 (as far as I have determined), so for all intents and purposes, I will have a 10 with a little 20 running gear up front.
Yep, and the 20 has a slightly thicker frame so it's less likely to have cracking problems at the steering box (if treated the same).
