You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I have been roaming these forums for a while now, posting here and there. I finally started on my project. Heres the low down: Picked up this 1950 3100 5 window off the original owner!

I am going to build my rolling chassis first. |

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Gonna keep looking for a body in decent shape, but if i cant this one is getting cut!
The plans are s10 frame, bagged with a lowrider depot 6 link. 350/700r. here is the frame donor http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...longbeds10.jpg Traded the cab away with a bodydrop for an interior job on the 50. He brought me his frame. Recycled! http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...y/IMAG0725.jpg Interior http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...ejpeg_2_10.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...gejpeg_2_8.jpg Stripped the frame down http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...y/IMAG0144.jpg |

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
started my body mounts, thanks to jeffs51chevy for the blue prints!
I did mine a little different. i started with 4x4 square and built from that here is one of the rear mounts. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...y/IMAG0762.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...y/IMAG0765.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...y/IMAG0772.jpg figured the holes would come in handy running wiresto the back. |

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
love the view of the carpet in the 50 in the first few pics :) looks like a great build.
|
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Haha yea the carpet is epic. I think im going to have to reuse it. Haha hopefully this thing will pick up speed since im finished working on other peoples rides for a change. Look for more updates soon

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
.... and here I thought post #1 was your current condition.... NOPE!.... haha..... I didn't realize you'd been kicking this things butt! Nice work.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Recognized your s10 the second i saw it! Love that truck! But glad to see yet another s10 forum guy making his way into building something older and much cooler.

Thats jeffs template. Got the frame boxed in the back ran out of gas finally had to swap the tank so didnt get much done. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...y/IMAG0794.jpg |
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Layedout,
Nice find and nice job! I'm just starting on my build, pretty much the same setup - 1950 3100 and a 1986 longbed s10. Having a local shop do the frame swap for me since I don't have the room to do it myself. Me and the kids are going to do most of the other other work. I have questions for you but wont bother you with them until you are further along, hehe. Keep posting updates! Eric |
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Any updates layedout? I'm thinking about going with the same 4 link you're installing - want to lay frame. Any reason why you chose it?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Yea I used the low rider depot 6 link. I plan to make the running boards hit the ground. I have been spending tons of money buying parts and almost have a rolling chassis. Updates are soon to come!!!!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Yeah looking for updates here!

If you save nothing else you have to reuse this tail light, it is part of the history of this truck. |
Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
I plan on keeping the outside the same for a while. Im digging the way it looks. Tail light is awesome haha. Planned on keepin it. Only exterior thing im changing are wheels for now.
