Thread: My rusty/ratty 48 chevy truck build (w/ pics)

Thanks a lot. It sounds like you are an above average builder. Do you think this is something most guys could do?

Do you have any photos of the body and rad support mounts? I would LOVE to see some of the things you did to use that frame. You have got me thinking........

I plan on running an inline six with a five speed and have a "New original frame" I was planning on buying. I now have an original frame with a 79 Camaro front clip and I am just not happy with how wide it is and the over all "placenta" look.

I really like how narrow the S-10 is. My wheels are tucked under the fender something like 6 inches! I can turn my 20's all the way without hitting the fenders.

MARTINSR,

Check out my website. It will give you all the info on the S-10 swap.

Flipper,

The track on an S-10 is 48" at the backing plate, and 56" at the hub. For a wider rear, swap it for a rear from an S-10 4X4, it's 4" wider. For the front use 2" spacers. I know what they say about spacers, but Jeep owners have used them for years on the mountain climbing rigs without a problem.

Thanks Lakota, SUPER site you have there.
