I've never heard of a kit for anything earlier than Advance Design trucks and doubt you'll find one.
1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 | I am putting an S-10 frame under my 46 1/2 ton. It's a lot of work, engineering, and extra parts. Everything that connects to the frame has to be re-engineered, manufactured and fit. You have to figure out the bed height, cab height, distance from cab to radiator support, wheel base, ride height, exhuast system, fuel system, steering linkage, engine mounts, axle widths, wheel and tire clearances and etc.
I think you can see where I am going with this. You really need to have a full service shop.

No better smell than that of fresh paint. I've been building and painting cars/trucks for 47 years.

I sell his AD Truck kit and am building one right now.

I see in one of the pics he's using an S-10 column.
Wonder what the wheelbase and track width of those trucks are like.
I might have to venture into the Yota section at the yard next time I'm out with my tape.
MONGO | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 71 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 71 | my truck is a 1938 and according to the factory manual (something about "manual project" is where i found it) my truck has a 112" wheelbase (1/2 ton) and i am using the same column -- mine is out of an astrovan i decided to scrap (what a shame... it was so clean-- but it had to go) .. and it fits great especially with the nova subframe im using. | | |
