Plan is to lay this body on a 2006 2wd chassis which I will cnotch and adjust length to fit the truck. Lay frame/body on 22" steelies. Started tear down yesterday. May be slow progress due to trouble finding a 2wd in Alberta where I am from.

That'll be an interesting swap. I can't wait to see more.! Keep us posted.

Found my donor truck and I am picking it up on Saturday so things may advance faster then expected. 2004 gmc sierra short box that I will back half.

Re: New here, new project. 65 C10
 

Yea I wanna see this because I'm thinking about using a 2000 frame I have.

Re: New here, new project. 65 C10
 

This sounds interesting. I'll be watching

Re: New here, new project. 65 C10
 

me too. i have heard of people using a 94 chassis but nothing newer than that.

Re: New here, new project. 65 C10
 

Well the donor is finally home after a 7 hr drive....got it for 600 with a full disc brake,4.8l running drive line. Let the games begin

Here are some pics

Re: New here, new project. 65 C10
 

This is the look i am going for

Re: New here, new project. 65 C10
 

Stripped the donor truck..ready to start swapping. Got another set of 22" steelies. A pic of my daily as well. Run 24's for summer

Re: New here, new project. 65 C10
 

So im going with a SFBD from firewall back and narrowing frame to avoid a bodydrop. Drawing is bad but don't have a program to do better.

Re: New here, new project. 65 C10
 

In my opinion, considering your desired end result, you would be far better off keeping your '65 frame and just upgrading the drivetrain and suspension. The '88 and up frames are very different than the '63-'72 frames.
