This is like the perfect situation! I have a 1948 chevy 3600 same truck as you! I also wanted to shorten the bed and frame and also I just recently bought a 1985 c10 to use the engine and frame but now have realized I want to keep the stock stuff but was still going to use the reared out of the c10 but after seeing how you did the setup with the front I've very intrigued and want more information. This is my very first restoration and I would like all the help and advice I can get. I have the c10 complete truck still in tact and drivable. I saw in the comments you said it's pretty much just a bolt in with the spacer. Once I get the assembly apart will it be obvious where the gap is? Also with the stock frame where did you place the front end to fit the wheel wells? Have you finished the truck yet?
