My question is, dose the AD cab sit further forward or further back compared to the S10 cab on the S10 frame ? The reason I ask is, I'd like to rebuild the AD bed and mount it on the S10 frame with the 4x4 rear axle. I'd to continue driving the truck until I get the body work all done the AD cab and than mount it on the S10 frame. Is this doable or am I going about this *** backwards ?  | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,407 Former Workshop Owner | | Former Workshop Owner Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,407 | I don't think that there are any simple answers.I suggest that you grab a tape measure, and see for yourself.
In my opinion, you are going to need another vehicle. The type of project that you are starting is a major one. There will be lot's of surprises, that will most likely prohibit you from accomplishing all that needs done (safely) in a short period of time.
I think that it would make the most sense to mount the cab first.
Good luck
John
