What did you do when you subbed or used an S10 for radiator support?
Thinking of buying a truck with a sub frame but was wondering what everyone does to mount the radiator and front sheet metal? Even if you went with an S10 frame I would love to see what people have come up with! Please, show me what ya got! Thanks

Here are some pics of my '49 sitting on an 1989 s-10 frame. I just cut the factory radiator support down and was still able to mount all the front sheet metal just like the factory did.

Hard to see in this pic since everything is black, but I just sectioned the original one by a few inches.

I haven't done my rad support yet, but here's my build which I got some good suggestions on that subject from other members:
http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18003 and, one of my all-time favorite builds from 62ChevyII (who is also a member here) http://www.killbillet.com/showthread.php?t=16296 There's a bunch of guys here doing either clips or S10 swaps, just browse through the threads and you'll find them. Good luck.
