Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Layedout,
I wanted to see if you can elaborate on what you did for the water temp sensor? Maybe you can share some pics too if you have them? Will the original sensor and gauge work if I can find an adapter to plug it into the passenger side head? Thanks in advance! |

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
So its a common issue to have the tie rod do that? I thought i had done something wrong. I just used washers to make the diff. I got a new gearbox im going to put on (steering is very loose) and i got the tierods off the truck with it. Figured i would swap it all out then.
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Man this truck looks fantastic. Great job!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Ordered me some mobsteel wheels today. Hope to have them in a few weeks. ordered 20x9 for the front, and 20x11 for the back, Thinking about painting them off white/cream color.
https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hp...12689044_n.jpg Same offset as these just white, not rusted. Hope they fit! |
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I like them there wheels. :metal:
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Cant go wrong with those wheels! Off-white/cream will look really nice!
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
What size tires will you be running? I am on the fence between running 18s and 20s- curious how they will fit!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I actually bought 2 more AD's this week. Already started on the 49.
54 I got Saturday. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...10_143935.jpeg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...10_143922.jpeg 49 I picked up today http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...13_154844.jpeg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...13_163221.jpeg And the 49 a few hours later. The guy thought his crappy sub frame job was worth about 1000 bux, so I told him he could have it back! saved some money hahaha he took it back home with him http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...13_185706.jpeg |

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Nice find on the trucks.
Plans? Mark... |
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Nice trucks!! The last one I found sitting in a yard was a '51 GMC long box "not for sale" :(
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I am going to s10 swap the 49, the one I have apart already. Then drop a 5 3 get it rolling as soon as possible.
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the wheels fit. I'll be going with detroit steel wheels on mine as well and would like to do a staggered set up like that.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I hope they fit too.
I have a 4x4 blazer rear with disc brakes, may have to swap it with a 2wd blazer disc to fit those wheels. I got 20x11 for the back with a 4.5 backspace. They should be in this week! |
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I've enjoyed this thread. I'm just beginning a 1948 5 window and am trying to determine which direction to go with frame/subframe. The truck I bought came with a camaro clip on stock frame but I like the stance you have on the S10. I'm trying to gather the necessary steps to fab the s10 for the AD.
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I just started on a 49 5 window im going to put on an s10 frame. Still looking for the donor s10. I would highly recommend an s10 swap. I am very glad I did mine. I didnt use one of the kits, i just made my own mounts. I have a lot of details about how i did it in the first 2 pages.
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Thanks for that input. I have been reading. I'm sure I'll have more questions... Is there a thread or step by step list of what has to be done to make the s10 compatible?
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I mainly just did it as I went. Wasn't too bad. Just put the cab and fenders together dropped them on the frame, and centered the front wheels. Made everything else from that point.
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
So is shortening the frame and mounts the majority of fab?
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
You only need to shorten the wheelbase of the frame 5 inches, only if you have a extended cab frame. I used a long bed frame. So I cut 6 inches of the very front and 6 inches off the very back. But nothing in the center. I made mounts for the front of the cab, but reused the stock rear cab mounts. They worked great. I had to make the core support shorter and flat on the bottom to work with the frame. Over all i think my cab is 6 inches from frame to the floor mount.
