Re: 67 C10 lwb to K10 swb conversion project

Had a few minutes to work on the project Sunday morning so I cut off the square body rear cab mounts as they are on the wrong side of the frame to use with the 67 cab. Pulled off the saddle tank and the brackets left on the driver side and removed an unused exhaust hanger.

I test fit the K5 fuel tank and had to remove the brake line bracket and the rear crossmember for it to fit. There is a rail road track fabricated trailer hitch welded to the back of the K10 frame rails so it held the rails in place right where they belong.

I will cut up the K5 frame and pull out the rear frame section to get the fuel tank mount crossmembers and possibly the rear bumper mounts. This should fix the damage caused to the rear of the K10 frame when a PO welded the rail road track hitch to it. These parts will get fit up to the frame after the 67 body is fit to the 74 K10 frame as I may have to modify them and their locations to fit the needed fuel tank position and bumper placement.
