Anyways, you got a good body to start with. A good frame shouldn't be that hard to come by. If you have the tools and skills, you can make one. For a front axle, I think Fatman puts out a combination straight/IFS for the early 30's frames for under $600. Like I said, you got a good start. You'll just have to do something about those...er...blemishes.

Im really not sure what the PO was thinking and it doesnt really matter lol . Frame has been cut it the front but the steering box is still there intact. im not sure of what the wheel base was originally for a 32 but yes the front wheels are too far back i figured i could fix that by moving the rear axle half a foot or so backwards. The engine will fit nicely in behind and below the S10 engine cradle crossmember. Mentioned earlier post of a taurus rear scratch that was thinking of the thunderbird independant rear. also thinking a early 70s style chev truck trailing arm might work too. Or maybe some ladderbars from the stock front spring mounts. As i said would like to concentrate on the body with the time that i have so a simple chassis setup would be good. Maybe i should put it away till funds and time permits. Still cant help but think about it. But then thats part of the process. thanks for your thoughts and help
