    If you're looking to use the cab and fenders to build a hot rod, then you can probably get away with an S-10 frame. I have the dimensions and photos on my website. If the photo is the IH, then you're going to need a MUCH heavier frame. I can't see the back end, but it looks like a 1.5 ton or better, with dual's/tandem's. If you're going to keep it stock looking, then a full size GM frame would be your best bet. The only way to know is to crawl under and measure the frame width, length, thickness, wheelbase and track. Then go crawl around in junk yards until you find one suitable.
