Hi guys, I just read a link to a guys build and someone chimed in and said the Dakota frame was almost hassle free for mounting the body on. I have ads all over looking for a S-10 chassis. I would love to know for sure if the Dodge Dakota is the best way to go. If it is, is there any kits out there to help the build? I know about the body mount kits for the s-10 frames, just curious. Thanks,Darcy

I wouldn't go with Dakota, but I've never done one. We've done about 5 S-10 swap and they I have a hard time believing a Dakota is an easier swap for an AD.

For a lot of folks, using non-Chevrolet parts on a Chevrolet is "verboten".

May not make a difference to you now, but when you, or your heirs, go to sell the truck it may make a huge difference.
