You'll find that the stock front end and rear end fit perfectly!

Nyuck nuyuck nyuck!

No rear setup that I know of is bolt in, all have to narrowed. F*** 9" being the most popular one that I see around. Front ends - sky's the limit. Volare - Camaro - and Mustang II are fairly common in the '47-'54 trucks.

How much money do you have? grin

If you have some cange around for this project, I whole heartedly endorse getting an M2 front end kit from somewhere. Don't go for original M2 parts as they are kinda weak and the strut rod is a pain in the butt. There are plenty of kits out there from various manufacturers that will work great and install easily. No need to get fancy unless you are going to show it.

As for rears, there are tons of them out there. Most passenger car 10 bolts from the late 60's - early 70's will fit okay. Just get something that is almost as wide as your original rear. Get one too short and getting wheels will be a bear. grin

Pick up a copy of Street Rodder Magazine. Tons of ideas in there. There are also lots of other publications out there to get ideas from.

Whatever you do DO NOT SUBFRAME YOUR TRUCK!! You will hate yourself in the morning!!

This is past experience speaking!

Thanks for the reply I used a Mustang 2 on my first rod,nice ride any how this already been stubbed,but going to redo he tried to use an eldorado way to wide and missed the wheel openings by about 2 inches,rear end he tried chevy truck rear with about 3inch lowering blocks,shocks spaced with about 3inches of washers.Ouch!!! Anyway the body was way to good to pass up,take my time and research my options I know it will be a fun ride!!!!!!! wink

The S-10 did cross my mind will have to measure it out,the thought too about new front rails sounds interesting where could you find them?
