You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap. - Page 10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I actually bought 2 more AD's this week. Already started on the 49.

54 I got Saturday.

49 I picked up today

And the 49 a few hours later. The guy thought his crappy sub frame job was worth about 1000 bux, so I told him he could have it back! saved some money hahaha he took it back home with him

Nice find on the trucks.
Plans?

Mark...

lower50's · 01-14-2016, 04:58 PM

Nice trucks!! The last one I found sitting in a yard was a '51 GMC long box "not for sale"

Layedoutsonoma91 · 01-14-2016, 09:36 PM

I am going to s10 swap the 49, the one I have apart already. Then drop a 5 3 get it rolling as soon as possible.

84blaze · 01-18-2016, 10:32 PM

I'm looking forward to seeing how the wheels fit. I'll be going with detroit steel wheels on mine as well and would like to do a staggered set up like that.

This. Ive been through your thread before but can't remember, what rear axle are you running? 4x4 s10?

Layedoutsonoma91 · 01-23-2016, 11:57 PM

I hope they fit too.
I have a 4x4 blazer rear with disc brakes, may have to swap it with a 2wd blazer disc to fit those wheels. I got 20x11 for the back with a 4.5 backspace.
They should be in this week!

I've enjoyed this thread. I'm just beginning a 1948 5 window and am trying to determine which direction to go with frame/subframe. The truck I bought came with a camaro clip on stock frame but I like the stance you have on the S10. I'm trying to gather the necessary steps to fab the s10 for the AD.

Layedoutsonoma91 · 01-24-2016, 02:46 AM

I just started on a 49 5 window im going to put on an s10 frame. Still looking for the donor s10. I would highly recommend an s10 swap. I am very glad I did mine. I didnt use one of the kits, i just made my own mounts. I have a lot of details about how i did it in the first 2 pages.

motown · 01-24-2016, 02:53 PM

Thanks for that input. I have been reading. I'm sure I'll have more questions... Is there a thread or step by step list of what has to be done to make the s10 compatible?

Layedoutsonoma91 · 01-24-2016, 03:06 PM

I mainly just did it as I went. Wasn't too bad. Just put the cab and fenders together dropped them on the frame, and centered the front wheels. Made everything else from that point.

motown · 01-24-2016, 03:16 PM

So is shortening the frame and mounts the majority of fab?

Layedoutsonoma91 · 01-24-2016, 03:21 PM

You only need to shorten the wheelbase of the frame 5 inches, only if you have a extended cab frame. I used a long bed frame. So I cut 6 inches of the very front and 6 inches off the very back. But nothing in the center. I made mounts for the front of the cab, but reused the stock rear cab mounts. They worked great. I had to make the core support shorter and flat on the bottom to work with the frame. Over all i think my cab is 6 inches from frame to the floor mount.

motown · 01-24-2016, 03:27 PM

Ok. How difficult was the sheet metal fitting? Do you have a link or short description of the core support fab?

Layedoutsonoma91 · 01-24-2016, 05:37 PM

I have pics a few pages back. Just kinda made it anyway I could get it to fit. Was able to fit a radiator thats 22x19. Im about to start another one when I can find a frame.

Layedoutsonoma91 · 01-25-2016, 12:16 AM

Made a quick photoshop with the wheels. Can't wait for them to get here this week.

ChuckDriver · 01-25-2016, 07:58 AM

Nice!

Layedoutsonoma91 · 01-29-2016, 12:09 AM

Got some pics of the under hood stuff!

HULK64 · 01-29-2016, 08:40 AM

Siiiiiiiiiiick. Looks so nice and clean!

Is it weird that I am seriously looking forward to you posting up with the new wheels and tires on?

Layedoutsonoma91 · 01-29-2016, 11:41 AM

Hey, cant be more excited than me! Should get them back from powdercoating tommorrow hopefully.

Layedoutsonoma91 · 02-01-2016, 11:19 PM

picked up 2 long bed s10s today! Got 2 98 long bed s10s that used to be cooks pest control trucks. Guess I can start a new chapter to the thread for the new ones haha. The 49 is first. Got a 5.3 and trans for it already too.

lower50's · 02-02-2016, 06:43 PM

That looks really really nice and clean!!

**Advanced Design** · 02-02-2016, 06:59 PM

Under hood looks awesome! Apologies if mentioned before, what is it sprayed with?
