You're asking if you could use the S-10 4x4 frame to do a body swap with a pre-'47 truck body? I don't know the answer but there are a number of vendors listed on the '47-'59 board that probably know the necessary dimensions off the top of their heads. You could call them up and ask what those dimensions are?

I'm willing to go take some rough measurements of my truck to see if it jives with the dimensions you get from those vendors.

My guess is it WOULD work; with modifications of course. There's nothing new/different about that than there would be with using it for a post '47, its just that there aren't a lot of guys with experience to guide you. You'd be trailblazing a little bit. But it would be a COOL ride when it was done.
