I also did the s-10 swap. Finances were the main reason for me. I do bodywork for a living so the fab work wasn't so bad for me to handle, but I don't think that it is too overwhelming for a beginner. I used diagrams off of this forum to base my cab mounts on. I built my own box so the bed mounts were totally different than the originals.
Most of the "obstacles" I encountered, (steering shaft, exhaust manifolds, motor mounts, Radiator and mounts/ support) were overcome with help from this forum and online parts catalogs and a lot of thinking, figuring, and planning, and some re-doing!
I haven't done anything to the ride height. I may lower it a little. I'll decide after I mount the front bumper.
The narrow track width does need to be addressed. I went with a 4x4 rear s-10 axle and 2" spacers, and 2" spacers in front. If I get different wheels, I will order the wheels with the correct offset so I won't need the spacers.
So far I am very happy with it!!
