Well, to answer the first question... she knew the manager from previous employment together. And she put the word out she was looking for one that was available and I could come get it on a moments notice. Plus a huge helping of luck and good Kharma coming back at us.

Thank you all for the info. I am completely new to these year trucks as I have always had 67-87 year trucks.
Judging by what y'all have said, and what I looked at. I think I have The hood from a chevrolet, and possibly the core support (haven't verified), but the fenders are from aGMC because it looks like they tack welded the turn signal holes closed that appeard on the front of the fenders... I think that was GMC only. But what confuses me is the doors. They have lever handles, but no vent windows. There is no louvers by the front doors either so I'm thinking later model GMC. The VIN states it to be a longbed, but the bed measures 77", So I don't know if the bed was changed, or if the cab and fenders were added to a chevy frame. I don't really care about numbers matching since I am pretty sure I'm going to go with an S10 frame. I really like the idea of the newer frame and suspension and it looks like a fairly simple install. What do you guys think?
