Looks like im going to do the NV3500 5 speed mated to a mild 350SBC

CaliforniaDaddy · 06-28-2014, 03:40 AM

We'll here is my new chassis for the 1950.
It's a 97 S10 v6 vortec 5 Speed 2wd long bed. Picked it up for $550
Also snagged a NOS Sanderson s10 v8 swap headers. They are coated inside and out.
$50.00 for the set!!!

CaliforniaDaddy · 06-28-2014, 03:41 AM

Here are the headers

**dec010974** · 06-29-2014, 10:20 PM

Nice ebay purchase. I wish you the best on both your projects. Subscribed. Will you be using a kit with s10 chassis. A friend wants to complete the same swap. His 1951 chevy 3100 sits on 1985 c10 chassis. I want to help as much as I can. Please continue and spill the beans. Thanks. Clark.

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-01-2014, 02:00 PM

Well I went to my local "Pick-A-part" and found the rear end out of a 99 Bravada AWD rear end. comes with Limited Slip 3.73 gear disc brakes and "WMS" to "WMS" is 59 1/2". Just waiting till the 4th because they are having a 50% off day so ill get the rear end for $110.00

OrrieG · 07-01-2014, 06:28 PM

Do you know what the spring spacing is??

rambler · 07-02-2014, 04:09 PM

subscribed.. you are not wasting any time... excited to see when you get it home

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-03-2014, 01:10 AM

so went to the junk yard, and here are some basic measurements. Looks like it will be pretty dang close. Its should bolt right into the S10 chassis,

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-04-2014, 08:02 PM

Well here it is. I went to the junk yard today on there 4th of july 50% off sale. I scored the complete rear end for 152.00 out the door. Wheel to wheel surface is 59 1/2", Disc brakes, 3.73 rear gear with a limited slip. As you can see the spring plates are in the same spot.

Is your friend going from the modern C-10 chassis to an S-10?I am going to a modern full size chassis as well.Do you have any info or photos of the truck on the full size C-10 chassis?

OrrieG · 07-05-2014, 03:28 PM

Great score, looks like you get an anti-roll bar too!

speesh · 07-06-2014, 03:53 PM

Sounds like you guys down there get a lot of great deals! ( I am about 100 miles north of you, in Ridgecrest.) I might have to come check out your pick-a-part yard! We don't have one up here.

I know there is another one in Adelanto, are there more yards in that vicinity? You got a great deal on that engine-trans combo!

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-16-2014, 12:40 PM

well after 1800+ miles in 3 days I got "Tator" home safe and sound. Here are a few pictures on him.

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-16-2014, 12:53 PM

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-16-2014, 12:55 PM

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-16-2014, 12:56 PM

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-16-2014, 12:58 PM

OrrieG · 07-16-2014, 02:12 PM

You want to keep that square metal lid with the handle on it that is next to the car in your last picture. That's your battery cover
