s10 frame and running gear

[Baldeagle SR]

Has anyone put an s10 frame and all running gear under a 56 chevy pu. Thanks Rich

I'm sure people have done it if your looking for a kit no one makes it for a s10 frame.But there is a frame swap kits for a gm b body and 73-87 gm pickup frame http://www.e-zchassisswaps.com/1955.htm

Are you trying to a build a 4x4 truck?

[Baldeagle SR]

I haven't decided yet. But if I do I want to go with an indepent sus. Rich

I did some digging a found some guys used the 88-98 truck frame http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=427550

[Baldeagle SR]

Looks like several options. Thanks for the link. Rich

Its not a bolt in but i would trust a 1/2 ton frame and drive train over a s10s.And the 88-98 will give you you the ifs 4x4 you want also.

S10 running gear is weak under an S10, let alone a fullsize truck.

Thanks Guys I appreciate the info. I have been in the closet for the last 20 years. Rich

the track width is better for a 4x4 with the s10,, but they are weaker, I'm going with the s10 4x4 when I swap over,, the front track width is almost the same as stock..but if you want ifs and not 4x4,, just do the mustangII..frams are about the same width also..good luck
