Only have first hand knowledge of one and it was not a Fat Fendered Ford it was a 47 Chevy chopped and channled pick-up, and while the feller that did the conversion was a pretty good fabricator it was a big mess. There was very little to like about this truck the ride was just bad, it That S-10 Frame looked like hell under a hot rod, there was almost nothing to like about it.

And so when advising anyone considering a conversion based on the S-10 I am going to give my opinion, just like you folks did. And for a Fat Fendered Ford ( which I own one of ) I personally think it is a really bad choice.

Hombre, you are not alone in your opinion about using an S-10 frame. It is a lot of work to make one fit; the ones I have seen have a stance that does not look right (although Ponchotom's looks pretty cool); and some people, including me, would never buy a vehicle that had this kind of a conversion, no matter how good the craftsmanship might be. IMHO, you are money ahead using the original frame, but it all comes down to "it is your car and you have the freedom to do what you want with it."
