I have a bad habit of watching Craigslist and Copart for the "good deal". I picked up a rusty '71 C10 off Craigslist and a 36k mile 2014 Chevy Express 3500 with a L96/6L90E off Copart. I planned to pull the engine and trans out of the van for another project. Instead, I got a harebrained idea of putting the '71 cab and front clip on the 1-ton dually chassis. The idea seemed fairly straight forward. I've ran into a couple issues along the way but nothing drastic.
