Longhorn or a C30 CC 133" wb, we need to keep the overall length of the finished truck under 18'.

Coop, I do have some good news to share on the project with no frame build!
After plenty of head scratching I keep coming back to something JJorgensen52 said in his similar 72 GMC build.

"I think, after going through this, that it's not terribly difficult if you have a little bit of fab skill, but the front swap would be vastly easier using a '67-'72 K20 donor, as the frame components are the same in the front between 20 and 30 series trucks. That would solve all of the fitment problems I've had and make this a pretty straight forward swap."

Really liking the vastly easier and straight forward parts of this statement!
