Re: 51 Chevy --> s10 swap question?

The only caveat is that 1/2 ton trucks fit the longbed S10 chassis without length modifications to either, while 3/4 ton trucks fit the extended cab S10 chassis (we're including box length here).
It's always possible to alter the wheelbase of the S10 frame, or change the box length on the Chevy truck, but why not just start out with the appropriate combination? Like this:

SHORTBEDS (116" W.B.) USE ANY YEAR OF S10 LONGBED DONOR (118" W.B.)
LONGBEDS (125" W.B.) USE ANY YEAR OF S10 EXTENDED-CAB DONOR (123" W.B.)
