Re: For Gramps (1970 C20 RestoMod)
 
This build has been riddled with unique situations (moving to/from Hawaii), cost of living in Hawii, etc and if I could take it all back I would have never dove head first into this restomod.

But it is what it is and I currently have a frame, rebuilt 14 bolt, H2 wheels and tires, and original body parts separated (cab, doors off cab, fenders, hood, bed).

I think the only I am going to get this through the finish line is to buy a "good guts" truck (powertrain, brakes, gas lines, etc completed) and do a body swap with Gramps' body parts.

I had always wanted to make his C20 into a 4x4, but know that conversion is insane.

SOOOOOO here's the current plan:

1. Buy a K20 and somehow swap out the bodies


Before anyone says its cheaper to just buy one completed, I totally agree, but my family and I have decided that Gramps' truck at a minimum is the body itself.

So with the plan to buy a K20 and swap Gramps' body onto it.

What are your thoughts?

What should I look for?
