K10 to C20 frame
Completely see your point, but I have confirmed the numbers on both frames. The 79 is no longer in the system, and the route i'm probably going with anyway, the frame and cab VIN's will match.- ptrckdillard

K10 to C20 frame
very true, I was a collision reconstructionist for several years, there's definitely something to be said for modern safety features, especially when they're not used.- ptrckdillard

K10 to C20 frame
If it's already titled, then no inspection is needed no matter the year. Just no smog on vehicles 75 and older- ptrckdillard

Technically it could matter, but it's done all the time. You would run into trouble if your frame VIN was off a reported stolen vehicle or also if you were involved in a major injury/fatal crash and the vehicle is inspected by LE. You could incur liability and lack of vehicle malfunction...- ptrckdillard

K10 to C20 frame
The big issue we Commiefornians face is any vehicle 1976 or newer has to adhere to the smog laws. If you register it as a "whatever" year newer than 76, I also believes it is no longer registered as a Chevy, but as a special construction title.- ptrckdillard

K10 to C20 frame
I'm not concerned on the frame numbers matching, it's sort of irrelevant due to the VIN not belonging to a K series anyway. Which is why I found a 73-75 truck and it makes the swapping of VIN's around also irrelevant. Also, using the 73-75 as a "donor" title circumvents the need for a VIN...- ptrckdillard

K10 to C20 frame
Thank you all for the input, it's much appreciated. I'll be pulling the body off the c20 soon, so I should be able to find my answer on the mounting points/holes etc for the front. Thanks again- ptrckdillard

K10 to C20 frame
Hello all, New to the group and Squares, any help is appreciated. I live in the wonderfully over regulated state of CA. I have a 79 short bed K10 as a donor and I have a 73 C20 long bed. My question is, can the front and rear axles from the K10 be put on the c20 without modifications, I know...- ptrckdillard
