I have procured another project for this winter....found a 1948 Chevy "Fleetmaster" 1 ton from a kid in Giltner NE and his last name is Rudy...nice kid...bought it sight unseen from a facebook ad...

After the shipper had it loaded and on its way to Mechanicville NY...

The plan is a 1984 C10 chassis with a 4.3 liter V6 and a NV3500 5 speed...

Chassis above as it sits today...

NV3500 to be mounted behind a mid 1980's Chevy truck motor...

the overall goal is a spare vehicle that we both can drive...shorten the long box to fit this chassis...something simple to work on too...leave the paint as is too..other than patching holes where needed...

I have the cab setting on the 1984 Chevy truck chassis...waiting for cab mount bushings from Classic trucks...should be able to get the cab mounted this week sometime...

I thought the track was too wide on the C series to fit an AD? Everybody else uses the S10 frames because the tires fit under the fenders better....
