Railroader,, You have a beautiful truck indeed,, I studied the options and went with a front cross members swap , I bought the complete truck for $400. a 1983 C10 long bed,, it has fairly nice sheet metal and I have been parting it out to requop some of my $400,, I found dollar for dollar this was the way to go for me, I also used the Captain Fab brackets,, they come well packed and the craftsmanship is awesome! enjoy! Oh one more thing this gives me 5 lug wheels and I am told but yet to confirm the axles in the 83 will slide into the 63 giving me 5 lugs all around plus two of the tires on the 83 are the same MFG as on my 63,, Bonus !
