Imo,The s-10 get boiled down to just the frame rails ,whether most want to believe it or not,when they start using that frame.I have a buddy that is using one on his 49 ford a s-15 extended cab frame.It looked like a nice complete rollin frame when he started,then you have to cut it down to fit the wheel base,then the leafs come outa the back and triangulated 3 link gets installed,there goes the rear suspention
9 inch ford rear ,there goes the rear end
New rims and tires ,there goes more!!! Then up front,the coils are the wrong tention,need air bags,there goes more parts
In the end 2 frame rails and a pair of a arms ,steering box and associated steering linkage.IMO not much left there and lots of work.
The main attraction of the s-10 frame is that a non running ,ruff looking body s-10 is usually next to nothing or free.Like most things lots of time to invest ,but little money...=s
Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)
