49 cab on a S10 frame. If I use 2 inch dropped spindles, how high off of the frame should I put the cab so as not to hit the fenders with the motor in it?. Or if keeping the orginal spindles, the same question applies. Please help me.

Hy fubar49, I don't really understand your question, are you concerned about the fenders hitting the ground? There are kits out there for mounting the old truck bodies on the "S" series chassis. Lowering the stance of the truck by using dropped spindles does not change the position of the cab relative to the chassis. If you could explain what your concern is a little better, maybe we could answer your question a little better.

It might be worth it to just sit the cab on the frame and measure from there.
