Any ideas or suggestions welcome. Thanks | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 | You can, but it depends on what you want as a finished truck. The C-10 track with is pretty wide, so you might want to look at S-10 or other options. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 48 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 48 | Other than an s-10, what other options are there?

Nothing wrong with properly maintained stock suspension. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 328 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 328 | I"d keep the stock frame and update your front suspension to modern brakes and power steering using any of the commonly available kits out there. This puts the steering gear outside of the frame and out of the
way of your engine choice.
You can spec the rear end of your choice and install it with a Chassis engineering kit pretty easily. Nothing wrong with the stock frame unless it's rusted away or twisted.
my 2 cents | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 48 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 48 | Nothing wrong with the frame. Never thought of keeping the frame. Thanks I'll look into it. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 44 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 44 | I kept the frame on my '48 and put a Mustang 2 front end and an S10 rear end under it. You can see what I did in my build thread "'48 extended cab with attitude" located in the hipo shop. I also put a '77 Camaro sub frame under the '52 panel I built years ago. That wasn't too bad. Right now we are putting an S10 frame under my daughter's '46 International because her frame was junk. It is a ton of work making all new mounts and locating it all in the right spots. I would definitely recommend keeping the stock frame. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 | Is a power steering kit available for the 235 engine in an AD truck? Seems like the kits are for small block Chevys.
