    Corey Welcome to CHR I can't answer your question from here either but If it were me having never done that change I would get my ruller out and see what if anything fits. Then go from there. A lot of people are useing S10 frames for a lot of swaps

    It depends on what you want. If you want a S10 with an antique body then the body to frame swap is right for you, but it will always be an S10. On the other hand, if you want a street rod then keep the original frame, or a replacement of the OEM frame, and build your car from there with aftermarket parts. You can obviously save some money with the new frame approach, but if you are trying to build value for the long term then setting the old body on a new frame is not going to be a good value proposition in the future. My $0.02, and others may disagree.
