the 80 jimmy i just bought wont pass smog, so i have two options. swap my 73 c10 body on the 80 frame or do a sas swap and swap all the 4x4 stuff to the c-10. iv done that before but never a body swap. which is harder?

Went to 3 places today one of them I thought he would do it but no go. Plus I like the long bed for work

How hard us a body swap?
A Jimmy and a pick up are not direct body swaps. If using the Jimmy frame you can swap over the cab but no bed.
blazer / jimmy and truck cab = trazer build .
truck cab and 4ft flatbed is what you get.

I can live with that what about the Gauges and everything
body swap in my opinion is faster and easy compared to full suspension swap if thay both come apart easy .
as for gauges lable all wires from both and swap bodys with wiring intact. then match up and plug in basicly.
only real diffrence is if 1 had dummy light and other had gauges.
