I have an '83 Chevy C-10 pickup that runs well w/ 305 engine, auto trans, 105 k miles, but the body is quite rusted, the windshield is cracked, and the gas tank has rusted through and leaks.
I'm considering removing its fully carbureted engine and placing it in a newer truck chassis of better condition. Can you provide any suggestions on which truck model years would be most suitable? My '83 truck uses all analog instrument cluster gauges, i.e., doesn't have digital gauges, digital dash, etc.
I know if I select '81 thru '87 C-10 trucks they will have the same body style. Do you think interfacing this '83 engine w/ a late model chassis may require extensive electrical system retrofitting? Electrical connections to instrument cluster & steering column a headache?
Regards
