rev33, you raised an important point about learning of the work involved from the commercially oriented sites. The S10 frame swap brings alot of improvements like newer suspension, brakes steering, etc. Shock absorbers, steering parts & brake parts for your truck will be available at any AutoZone or Napa store. It is not a tiny job, but it is within the reach of your average mechanically incline enthusiast, provided he or she has the space & time to do it.
I like it.
