Which frame to use?

[98layinframe]

I picked up a amazingly clean 51 the other week and im having difficulties deciding which frame i wanna run under this thing. Which of the options you guys think would be best?

Option 1. Run the stock frame with a mustang II front tubular setup, and the C4 Corvette irs rear end I already have? Would need to box and brace the crap out of the frame since theres wayyyy to much flex in it to make me happy.

Option 2. Run a 2wd s10 frame like most do.. then deal with a tight squeeze for the headers and steering, run the wheel spacers and find a 4x4 rearend.

Option 3. Start with a 4x4 s10 frame. The front rails look cleaner, its very easy to convert over to 2wd by simply removing front diff and machining the knuckles off the outer hubs or simply swapping 2wd 98+ blazer shafts in place. Also the track width is already 1.5" wider per side so no spacers needed up front and maybe only a little one out back depending on wheel offset and width.


Ideas? Opinions?
