I was just given a 90 S10 minus the motor and tranny and was considering doing the V8 Conversion with A 305/350 combo I have sitting in the barn and driving it around for the winter then swapping the body from a 47 1/2 ton I've got sitting behind the barn onto it, just for grins. My understanding is that the S10 is a 108" wheelbase and the 47 is 116". I'm thinking I'll just shorten the bed up in front of the fenders to make it fit, Or I've also considered narrowing up the s10 bed and putting the 47 fenders on it. The 47 bed is very rough so it won't be any great loss if i mess it up in the process.
Either way whatever I decide to do with the bed I figure I'm gonna put the s10 floor and wheel tubs back in, that should solve the narrower rear problem plus give me lots of room for some wider tires.
