Well I have a choice of purchasing a 1951 1/2 ton in pieceswith a 55 frame no engine . Or a 53 five window on a S10 frame 350 duel exhaust not running auto with posi rear end. I am leaning toward the 53 because I want to install a v8 Auto . Would the 53 be better for my first truck project. Thanks for any help

Hy WP53, if the 53 body is properly mounted to the S10 chassis then that would probably be the easiest one to complete, hope that helps.

Hy WP53, there are kits available to mount that body on the S10 chassis, I think someone on here sells them. Just type S10 conversion into your search engine and a lot of info will come up, hope that helps.
