    40Ford/S10 frame help

     



    I have a 40 Ford PU cab that I would like to install on a S10 frame . Which S10 cab and bed combinations would be best fit and is there anything I should watch for in this swap? Can I install a mustang rack in place of the cross steering, has anyone done this? Can I install a 37 car Nose on this Truck cab with out too much alteration? Any help and direction would be good at this planning stage of my project.

    Modify the original frame if you have it,I know someone who bought a 39 ford coupe that was on a S10 frame and it was a mess. He eventually found a original frame and installed a IFS on it and put it under the 39,there are some problems putting S10 chassis's under some bodies.

    Anybody out there have knowledge of a frame that will fit under this 40 Cab? I understand that some car frames are the same as the truck frames in these years. Anyone have a frame on the east coast that will fit my 40 PU- Thanks

    i have seen a ranger frame under a 47 ford truck. the cab is the same & frames are similar to your 40 so it should work...joe
