Re: 67 C10 lwb to K10 swb conversion project

Made some progress and got the frame cuts all welded up so it will be strong enough to move around and do the rest of the fabrication work to mount the body.

After all the fabrication work is done I will tear the whole frame down, finish weld all the modified areas from both sides and reinforce the whole thing so it is stronger than it ever was before.

I need to get it into my driveway where I can level the chassis out perfectly then I can mount the bed securely to the frame where it needs to go and fabricate the cab mount brackets to match the new cab location.

First pic is 67 body on an unmodified square body K10 frame and the second is with it on the modified & shortened wheel base version of the same frame.

The cab & bed need to come forward a little in the second pic and are just loosely set in place to get them out of the way.
