C10 body on K10 frame

[NJakey]

Recently stumbled upon a clean c10 for 1000 and a rusty k10 w a solid frame/engine/trans for 700. How difficult and or expensive would it be to swap the c10 body on the k10 frame?

Other than the center floor hump, it just swaps over. K10 should have a taller floor, but with very minor or almost no body lift low floor tends to still fit

ORD makes a 1" body lift to help with this. $102.50

Right, easy swap just have to deal with the tunnel.
Here is a pick of my R10 and K5.
The K5 is taller with bolts to remove cover.

I believe the 2wd 4 speed mans also have the tall hump if that's the cab you are getting.

Basically all 2wd column shifted vehicles (auto and/or the three on the tree manual) had the flat floor. 2wd floor shifted (M20 and MY6) had the tall hump. All 4wd had the tall hump.

In the process of doing that with a c30 cab onto K30. Took the removable cover out of the K30 cab (auto, high hump) and matching it into c30 cab (manual, high hump). Once I get my outline on floor, measuring and cutting out what doesn't need to be there. May just cut the section of floor out of the K30 with the lip and nuts welded and weld the whole section into the C30 cab, not sure yet. If the bodies are close to same year, body mounts should match right up. There is a break-over of different parts in 80-81 to watch out for on the mounts I was told, don't remember how that works exactly.

RoryH19,

Dang, that's a clean cab! This is the one you paid a K for? I would have paid that much just for the cab! Mine wasn't even that clean before we restored it. It was afterwards but even though mine had no rust, there was some paint worn off especially up on the firewalls, i.e. drivers side, and floor.

Thanks. This was a pic from my 87 R10, my profile pic. I had the carpet out to clean it.
