everyone is doing it so i am to........s10 swap on a 51

well i'm building a 51 1/2 ton and i am using a s10 frame. i've been working it off and on for a few years now (mostly off). found the s10 from a guy at work for a $100, ext cab short box so the wheel base was way to long. i took 9" out of it around where the back of the cab will sit, so my new wheel base is 114". i will be cutting the bed a couple of inches (i don't know who much for sure yet). i have a 307 sbc and a t5 borg warnner that will power the ol' thing. as of now i'm doing some of the body work on the cab, and after i get the floors solid again i will finaly mount the cab (i've been wanting to do that for a long time).

here are some of my build pix i will up load more soon, and keep my thread updated as i go also.
