94 k1500 Frame swap info?

[robbin'thabanks]

I recently wrecked my 94 k1500 ecsb and bent the frame horns and the frame right behind the drivers side control arm. I was wondering what model trucks have the same body mounts as the ecsb and if they changed the frame at all between 88-98. I'm searching my local CL ads to find a parts truck to do a full frame swap.

Thanks

I did the same thing but mine still drives and tracks just fine... actually pushed my front up and over....according to the print out from the frame machine.... I'll get her fixed eventually...lol

Let me know how the frame swap goes when you do it... I may end up going that route if no one wants to tackle my frame.... most shops are afraid of heat by the welded area, yet that's how they are suppose to do it on these frames according to gm spec ...

Okay thanks so all 88-98 k1500 frames are the same? What if I wanted to go 2wd do the c1500 and k1500 body panels swap over directly?

I'll let you know when I do it magimerlin. I was going to take it to a frame specialist but it would in my case be more cost effective to do a full swap. I've seen a lot of parts truck going for about $500 around here.

Everything but the wheels and axle will swap to a c1500 chassis. The 4wd axle will physically work but it is 3" wider than the 2wd. If you found a 6 lug C2500, your wheels will work and you get a 14 rear end.

Alright thanks! Now I know what to look for.
