If we are willing to lose the long-bed altogether (switch over to short bed), would that make to s-10 any easier ?? Thanks guys.
Yes and No. you will still have the whole track width issue up front. IF you buy a kit you will still have the same amount of work. If you mount it yourself you will still have that work. The Standard Cab long box S-10 does fit wheel well to wheel well better than it would an 8' box.
If you are looking for something that can be done with a torch and welder, anything is possible. If you are looking to mail order parts, and bolt them together in a weekend, your best bet is the 6 1/2' box and a standard cab long box S-10 chassis are the route to go.
Or I can sell you a cross member to put S-10 spindles, and control arms on your existing frame in the same weekend.
