After 12 pages of searching (yes, i know there is a seach button :flipoff2: )with nothing on what I am going to do, I figured I'd post up.
I got a '77 K5, 1-ton, x-over blah, blah, blah (you've read it 1000 times over)
I am seeing the short falls of the width of the body. I want to go to a s-10/toy cab, but i settled on a toy cab since they are so damn common. The weight savings, have FW axles, the stout frame and better visability sell it for me.
I know 350/350 combo's get swapped into Toys all the time, but would a body go easily over one on a FS frame?
I know I'll have issues with the length of the front of the frame, the trans tunnel and other various fitment problems. But making my own body mounts, is there something I am missing?
Advice, rumors, theories, etc. appreciated! :beer:
