'50 5 window.....s10 swap

[rhodog77]

Well, after months of reading almost every single thread on the forum, Its time to start mine in hopes of getting as much advice as possible. This is my first frame off build. My father and I, along with alot of help, built a '54 chevy, subframed with a '78 camaro with a 305. That setup came out really nice. Wanted to try something a little different this time around. Wanted to say thanks to those who have given tips and advice already, especially
"jeffs51chevy".

Now for the good stuff. I got this '50 5 window and entire front sheetmetal for $400.00. The cab is in pretty good shape, except for the floor, its shot and of course the corners. Both an easy fix. The hood is perfect, front fenders, inner fenders and grille are in decent shape. All the glass was there expect the front windshield pieces. The doors line up great and open and latch really good.



My donor frame is a 1991 longbed std cab, not running. The motor had a shredded oil pan and a golf ball size hole thru the block, very ugly. Anyway, the frame is in really good shape.

Thanks for looking at my thread. I cant wait to start the swap. I am getting everything together and hope to do the swap in the next few weeks. I got my mounts and bushings fabed up, looking for a motor right now.
