1969 c30
hello all, new to this site, question ideas, I have a 1969 C-30 and a 1986 C-30. Would like to swap cab form 69 to 86. How difficult will it be?

Re: 1969 c30
It's easier to swap suspension onto the '69. Gives you the same net effect without having to do any real fab.
Changing cabs requires modifying all of the mounts for the cab and front sheet metal.

Re: 1969 c30
Thanks for your reply,
I do have a 1977ish dually donor frame that I am thinking of using Power steering gear box, and disc brake setup |

Re: 1969 c30
You can swap the whole a-arm assembly frame to frame, have all matching mechanical parts ('77) on old frame.
