Ok, i have a plan and need some advice, i know a bunch of you have already installed LSX style engines in Classic trucks, so i hope you can help me out. I recently ran across a 2005 chevy express van. It has the 5.3 in it, With AWD!!! I was wondering how hard it would be to drop a 67 C10 LWB Cab and bed on that frame. I know i have to shorten the frame 8" to match the wheel base. My question is should i do that, or just do a motor swap and scrap the AWD set up, or do the body swap, and have a AWD 67 chevy.

 

AWD!!!!!
that be a nice set up.....

 

IMO, I think the AWD setup would be awesome, and definitely different. You'd have a more modern, better handling setup with a classic truck. I wouldn't know exactly how to do it, but I'd be interested to see how you would do it.

for an AWD '67 Chevy.

 

Thanx guys, my deal fell through on the van i was looking at, but there will be another one i am sure. I'll keep every one posted when i start the project.

 

money wise, just do the lsx swap! get it running,and upgrade as you go!

 

man to bad, that would have been sweet!
