Chev C20 RHD

[Thomo5150]

Hi, update on my F100 project with C5 drivetrain. After spending a year looking for a dent cab to use I gave up my search and moth balled the F100 chassis (Couldn't justify $4000+ on a rusted dent cabs avaliable downunder). With all the parts I collected I started looking for a replacement project that included Camaros and Firebirds.

I had a trip across Australia planned so at the last minute I jumped on Gumtree ( USA's Craigslist) to see what was avaliable. I came across a factory RHD C20 Cab / Chassis project that was just what I was looking for.

Plan is:
Shortern wheelbase 115"
Custom front crossmember
ZO6 drivetrain and suspension, using C5 rear cradle
ZO6 C6 brakes
Flamming River RHD steering rack
Stepside body
Recessed and smoothed firewall
Trans tunnel mods for torque tube
22 inch rims 265 and 295 tires
Vintage Air Con



Loaded for the trip from Sydney back to Perth.

Rear rails of the C20 are similar width to the Corvette C5 making the suspension cradle easy to adapt.
