I have a '64 club cab C10 the Rail Road is a term used to describe the body my truck has. We put the '64 on a '98 Z71 C10 chassis with a 5.7 V8 a 4L60 trans and the 98 rear end.
To make it all work we cut the firewall at the belt-line harvesting the floor pan to the front of the seat location. We also harvested the frame-body mounts from the '64 chassis utilizing them to mount the body onto the '98 chassis. We harvested the '64 rear coil spring suspension, grafted it onto the 98 chassis. We also harvested the front frame horns from the '64 for the '64 front bumper.
The use of the '98 firewall allowed the retention of the brake booster, peddle assy and a GM tilt column.. We used a Painless wiring harness on the eng/trans and chassis. The truck handles very nicely, smooth and quite. Had some problems with the electrical system, turned out one of the guys that re-programed the ECM for me screwed the unit up, it took me three different shops and almost 1.5 years to get the problem resolved. Had to buy a new ECM to solve the problem. Wm .
