    Howdy there. i'm new here but have a feeling that this forum will be of great significance to me soon. i currently drive a chevy s10 but it simply isn't what i want anymore. it's too small and my taste for 80's model 1/2 ton gm trucks has much so increased lately. my game plan is to one day have maybe an 86 c/10 with preferably a newer 6.0L engine. has anyone else done this? what do i need to look for and how much can i expect to spend on such a swap? i thank anyone for their help.

    Welcome. There is a lot of info on that in the conversion section.

    There are a few early 80s trucks in here with the Gen3 engines. BEATERTRUCK comes mind first.

    Yes it can deffinately be done! I would set aside at least $4500 for the swap but you might be able to get by cheaper. Do some reading in the conversions section and you should get most of the answers you want.

    you know something man.. my dad always told me.." you can do anything, as long as you got the money". with money you can make it happen. welcome man. those 80s model chevys are cool man. there is one by my house but its like a 79 or 80. a lil ruff but definitely has potential. anyways welcome. the more the merrier.
