1983 SWB frame, fit a P10 body
I have a 1983 SWB lowered roller frame. I would like to put a P10 body on it or does it need a full size frame? Let me know if this needs to go on another forum.

Re: 1983 SWB frame, fit a P10 body
frame should be plenty strong enough...difficulties may be with body mounts and wheelbase and track width...not sure what you mean by fullsize frame..what you have in pics is a fullsize frame..

I was under the assumption that the short bed frame is shorter than the long bed frame.

Re: 1983 SWB frame, fit a P10 body
your p10 has a wheelbase around 102" and a swb has around 117.5" wheelbase...no matter if you use lwb or swb your gonna have to shorten the frame to use it...will be a cool project though..what about the width though...you might be better off with a s10 frame and running gear..
the only thing I can find on width is a guy looking for a shipping quote..he stated the p10 is 6ft wide... Last edited by mongocanfly; 09-01-2017 at 06:20 PM. |

Re: 1983 SWB frame, fit a P10 body
Somebody say stepvans...I like stepvans.
And yes, 102” wheelbase. The closest you’ll get, C10 frame wise is the 69-72 blazer. They had 104” wheelbase. The 73-87 blazer is 106”. I haven’t decided if I’m going to do a trailing arm swap or a four link set up.
