I really like the stance of yours better though. You're making me want to tear it all off and do it this way...

I've got a lot of work to get mine even to the point you're at though.



Here's my parts donor truck:



Its a 75 cab on a 70's? blazer frame. I'm gonna use thoe motor, tranny, transfer case, lockout hubs, and possibly the blazer tank.

Sorry for pirating your thread. Just wanted you to know I was working on a similar project, but going about it a different way.

Check out my build thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=415134

Looks like a good start on your project having the spare truck to use for parts & drivetrain. Good luck with it.

I would really want to stretch & alter the wheel base of the frame if I were you after seeing how high these conversions have to sit off the frame to make the cab & bed line up. It doesn't look like the PO of yours altered the wheel base to match the older body style. While fixing this you might as well stretch the frame while you are at it. It won't take much more time to do.

I hope to make some progress on my project tomorrow while my wife is at work and the girls are at the grandparents.
