Thread: 1950 Chevy Truck to s10 frame

Tweet

I would use the 3600 frame and tack on a Camaro or Nova clip. These work out great or you can go with a Heidts or Fatman IFS. You would be much futher ahead doing this than with the S10 frame

I definaly agree with all of you that using the stock frame with a new front suspension would be the best route. My problem is i am on a pretty tight budget (seeing as i am only a college student) and i can get my hands on an s10 frame, motor, trans, and the ford 8.8 (rebuilt) for basically no cost. By buying a camaro front clip or whatever i am still missing a motor and trans and that will cost me money i don't have. So i figure i am killing a few birds with one stone with the s10 swap.

I know there is a lot of work involved with the s10 frame swap. Work I can do, i just don't have a lot of money so i am not too worried if i have to get creative in some areas.
