We did a 1940 restomod (maybe leaning toward full custom) using the factory frame, MII ifs, and Explorer rear end. This was done to do away with any body, bed, front sheet metal mounting woes. Have also done several S10 conversions which are fine also. The Explorer rear is 59.75" wide and a good fit or the Trailblazer also fits good but the 6 bolt lug bolt pattern is metric so either a re-drill or metric wheels are needed. You scored a WAY better find that the 1940 pictured but it come out decent.
