I think if you measure the Track you will find it is WAY to wide for your C10!

Too much work imo, 05 will be wider track and wider frame.

That front suspension crossmember is welded to the frame. And as already said, the track width is quite a bit wider than the '63-'70 trucks. With that said, if you have all kinds of time to spend on it, plus the excellent fabrication skills necessary, go for it.

You know, that has been a dream of mine for years and years. After I win the Texas Lottery, I'm going to do that with a brand new Duramax.
