I have a 1978 Chevy C20 3/4 Ton 4x4 with a horrible body, but a sound frame.

I was wondering what would fit on the frame besides another '78 C20?
 
Probablly any 1973-87 chevy or gmc truck. maybe u could get the 67 to 72 to fit on there too, that would be pretty badass
 
Measure The Cab Mounts, You Could "maybe Put Anything On It That You Want. I Mean If You Can Put Chevy Motors In A Jeep W/modification And Like My Friend Is Doing By Putting A Dodge Cummins In A Fullsize Ford 4x4 Why Not The Other Way Around, Put A Ford Body On It. Be Crazy, But Unique
 
No, the 1967-72 form is quite different.

The cabs for all C/K 10-30s are the same for 1973-78. Just not the Suburbans or P and G models.

HOWEVER, there are two "hump" sizes and you don't want to get the wrong one. Automatic or column shift manual = low hump; floor shift manual = high hump. The high humps are removable but the low humps aren't.
 
put whatever you want on oit the 73-79 are direct fits but the 80-92 front clips will fit.. i've seen a couple 67-72 bodys on thse frames, the look great and didn't need take to much to install...
