47-55.1 1948 5 window with 125" wheelbase

[Jedema]

Well, I have a 1948 Chevy 5 window... and in my usual vigor bought an S10 frame for it. I knew that since it was a short bed S10 I'd have to move the rear axle back. Well, what I didn't take into account was that the truck I have has a 125" wheelbase.

It became very apparent when I pushed the frame up to the old girl... 116" is a bit different than 125"..

So, I'm looking for creative solutions. Has anybody seen any build threads that deal with this particular issue? I could probably move the wheels back further, I could shorten the bed... I could scrap the whole frame and get an extended wheelbase frame LOL..

Just looking for the best way to deal with that.

Thanks
