C5 swap truck
Hope it's OK to post what I did to a crashed C5 cab, I bought a 1946 Chevy truck and extended the cab, lowered and widened the chassis, and put the complete C5 drivetrain on the truck frame,
Started with truck widening and wooden wheel
Integration process
Integrated complete C5 drivetrain
Original brake from C5 reversed under cab
The donor
Widening running boards and fenders
Hope to be on the roads (in Norway) this summer
