Stretching an s-10 frame?

So the s-10 frame that I got for free is only a 108" wheelbase. I would like to keep my 3600 the stock length. Does anyone know if stretching the frame the extra 17 1/4 " will work. I calculated that much to retain the 125 1/4" stock wheel base. I plan on installing extra bracing to ensure the frame retains strength. Has anyone done this? Thanks

there is a factory splice under where the door would be, you can grind it apart and add whatever length you need.
