That's more like really really, really, really wide wheels and tires when on an s-10 frame. I say this because you have to run at least a 8" rim and maybe even with a one inch spacer behind the rim. Even w/just the 8" rims there is something like 3-4 inches between the tire & fender. A tall spindle swap using full size GM spindles could be done but then a new upper control arm has to me bought or find someone to modify the stock one. With the swap you get 11 or 12 inch rotors & the tire/wheel is pushed out from 1" to 1.5".Joe | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 841 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 841 | the hoods will interchange on most of the the early 60's trucks between c10's and c60's. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 595 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 595 | don't waste your time with s10 chassis use a fullsize. | | |
