Oh yeah, for anyone thinking about this swap keep this in mind...
Stock 47-54 GM shortbed wheelbase 116"
Stock S10 standard cab longbed wheelbase 117"
This means all four wheels will set right in the wells!
The S10 frame is ADJUSTABLE for length! Yes, that's what I said. There is a front frame section and a rear frame section that are slipped one inside the other. If you break the factory weld you can slide the rails in and out to achieve different lengths!!!! You just gotta love GM!
The rear track width doesn't matter much because you can use any rear axle of choice. The front is narrower than the 47-54 but with a set of billet spacers (not waaay offset wheels!!!) you can account for the difference. This difference isn't much but I have to work within my wife's Golden Rule...YOU WILL NOT CHANGE MY WHEELS!
