Funny thing about those S-10 frames, they'll fit under just about anything. Wheelbases come in three sizes: 108", 117", and 122". The frame is 31" wide at the front and spreads out to 40" wide just behind the bellhousing all the way back. The frame is boxed all the way back to the rear rise. It can be shortened by grinding off the weld at the flared junction, cutting the required amount, sliding it back into the flair and rewelding it. It comes stock with IFS, PB, PS, and front disc brakes. It can take just about any engine. Of course the rear needs to be beefed up, a Ford Explorer is a bolt in.
All us hot rodders with late 30s, 40s, and early 50s were running around in junkyards looking for parts that could possibly match or be modified, or spending serious money for aftermarket parts, and it all came stock on an S-10 frame. And all you S-10 guys kept this info to yourselves....
