Now it seems it includes everything from the number of vehicles I've owned to the number of surgeries I have had which now something like 25 give or take one or two.

On your project, IF its like the 47-55 Chevy's the front clip is different then the 1/2ton ones, longer & wider & as you can see the wheelwell opening are HUGE. Like I said go on over the Stovebolt & roam around you'll be surprised w/the info you will find, plus I do believe there is a member or two w/trucks like yours that have done the S10 frame swap. Look through the photo gallery of the member trucks & you may find them faster....joe

Joe, I did get over to the stovebolt site while I was still up last night/early this morning. I found a guy that put a truck like mine on a 4X4 78 frame. I have an 86 Chevy 4X4 that has a 1976- 454, the body is rusted pretty bad, at one time I thought about that swap. I too have had 20 surgeries give or take and need four more surgeries. I'm leaning for something a little bit more in the comfort area now like (Chevy 37's) truck. I lost count of the cars I had 20 years ago. I could remember each one and it was over 100 since then I've probably had another 100. I have some property in the country, no close neighbors, I have counting the projects 19 now. I would like to reduce that down to about three. My wife still lets me know when she see's an old car so what can I do but go get it!!!!!!! Some of the cars I have are worth more in scrap by today's prices.
