Re: Inherited a 1962 C10 in parts - need some help

The frame you have is looks to be a 68-72 4wd frame. Definitely worth selling the 4wd frame to someone building a 4wd and picking up a more correct 2wd frame for your truck.

Since you have a 62, the easiest way would be to find a 60-62 frame so the cab and body mounts line up. A later year front crossmember will swap in place of the torsion bar front crossmember if you want to run could.
However, you could also use a 63-66 frame, but a little modification would be needed for mounting the 62 body
