Swifter , i got the idea from a magazine that recenlty advertised the s-10 swap. from what i have read not that difficult. most people have gotten the entire truck for about $500/$700 dollars. The kit is about $1,000 shipped. So for about $1,600 dollars you are pretty much set.Don't know what it cost to box a frame, buy a front end, have it installed , and then re-do the rear end. But i'm guessing its a little more than $1,600.
