I needed to know if I need a regular cab S10 for my 52 GMC 3/4 ton or an extended cab. Does anyone know?

52Fanatic, If I'm wrong someone will correct me, The regular cab long box S-10 wheelbase is 118" and the X-cab is 123". So measure your wheel base, and go from there. From what I understand the 123" wheelbase frame can be shortened and I would assume stretched if necessary. Just my 2cents.

For a 1/2-ton the standard answer is the standard cab long box. The extended cab is longer, but still not as long as your 3/4-ton truck's wheel base. You're either shortening the bed or lengthening the frame.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

I put my 49 gmc 3/4 ton on a regular cab long bed S10 frame. fit perfect on had to move leaf spring frame brackets back I think 7 and 1/4 inches back on the frame which leveled out back of the truck. I will measure tomorrow to be sure.
