S-10 is NOT the way to and easy upgraded truck. It is to narrow. The way the frame kicks up in the rear you will lose most of the bottom of the bed.If you have a good stock frame use it.Way to much work for NO gain. I have seen guys spend years building them.In the end they could have just hung a frontend and a rear end on it and it would have been done. Wish all these so called great magzines guys that have seen this swap so successful would follow one through start to finsh. It DONT work. If you have and old rotten stude or ih cab and want to build a truck from scratch and you dont have a frame well yah go for it .But even in that case you would be better off with 2 2X3 .250 wall sguare tubing and build your own frame cause thats how much engineering is involved. Dont do it!! there are probably 1000 old cars and trucks cut up right now that will never get finished cause of some article in a book.(yep seen half a dozen done ,but those guys could have built the frame from scap iron)Allway look at finished products at shows and stuff. DONT beleive what you read in rod books,most guys that write that crap in the rod books are Wannabees that do this to get free parts and labor for there rods. Very few really do there own work(there are a few,but not many) Now if i could only spell and use correct grammer.......................i could be a .................naw !!!!!! Be to easy
