Got a 53 & a S-10, now just need to do the "swap"

[63 & 64 Bowties]

I picked up this 53 locally here last night for $440. She's a little on the rusty side, and has a Flintstones floor. But, it does have the most sought after option of all....a clear title.

I bought the 87 S-10 2WD for the frame, and the 84 4x4 for the rearend. Got them from the same guy, both for $600. I've had them sitting around waiting to find the AD.

I probably won't start on this project until September at the earliest. I need to finish up the body/paint work on my 63 & 64 first. Plus this will give me more time to think about which S-10 swap kit to get; AD Engineering, ez chassis swap, or maybe Optikal's kit when he starts selling them.

I kinda hate to cut up the 2WD. I drove it home (about 7 miles) and it runs/drives great. Pretty nice little truck. I may look around for another 2WD and keep this one for farm use. Right now I use a Harley Davidson golf cart on my property to mend fences. But, maybe I'll use the 87 and sell the golf cart.
