howdy I am very new and realize that my question has more then likely been answered here on some thread or another but at the risk of upsetting someone I will ask one more time for my self my apologies first off. I bought a 1980 k20 campers special an the body was pretty until I looked underneath. I just bought a 1981 c10 that didn't have an engine with a mint body no bondo in it an paint already on it. my question is can I swap out the entire body onto my 1980 frame I need the 4wd if so can I mix an match the front quarters off of the 1980 onto the 81? those and the grill were only good pieces on the truck and I would like to keep that front body line I understand I will have to swap the hood but those are easier to come by then box sides and cabs. by the way I am not a mechanic I don't know much at all about this but I am more then willing to bust my knuckles learning how. befor anyone asks I know I should of found out if I could do the body swap befor I bought it but it was one of those "only once a decade" deals and if it turns out I cant do the swap I got a couple of extra 350s I can drop in it for a summer ride
