Frame swap

[Jerry White]

hi my name is Jerry and I am new i was wo der what it takes to swap a 1986 c10 cab and front cap over on to a 1980 c10 frame thanks

1980 is a crossover year. Total bolt-on. I believe the only mod would be to trim the front framerails to match the later bumper brackets. Probably take 30 minutes to do.

May I ask what is necessitating the swap?

Or use the earlier style bumper.

This. Dont cut your frame to fit a bumper Jerry. Sounds silly doesn't it?

My truck is 79 chassis with 86 cab, clip, bed. Use the bumper that fits your frame.
