Hi Trev,
I know a guy who did the frame swap of an S-10 to a 36 GMC. The truck looked very good and handled well. It had the correct stance also.
He used to tell me that the worked involved was demanding as he narrowed the rails in the middle area to the width of the original frame. I think the steering box was a problem because it was mounted on the outside of the rail. Think he also had to move the engine / trans mounts as well
My suggestion is if your frame is good as you claim stay with that. Box it as this will increase the strength 500%, if you plan to use the 350 engine. I would think the price is right for what you are getting in the S-10 using the parts. I also think it would be cost effictive to use an aftermarket IFS and save you a lot of time in the construction.
There is a site posted on a thread I recently read on here for this swap on 50's type trucks...I will try to find it and sent it to you.
If you do decide to go ahead with this swap please post some pix as I would like to see your progress.
Good luck and let us know what you decide.
Dave
