Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Layedout,
Nice find and nice job! I'm just starting on my build, pretty much the same setup - 1950 3100 and a 1986 longbed s10. Having a local shop do the frame swap for me since I don't have the room to do it myself. Me and the kids are going to do most of the other other work. I have questions for you but wont bother you with them until you are further along, hehe. Keep posting updates! Eric |

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Any updates layedout? I'm thinking about going with the same 4 link you're installing - want to lay frame. Any reason why you chose it?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
Yea I used the low rider depot 6 link. I plan to make the running boards hit the ground. I have been spending tons of money buying parts and almost have a rolling chassis. Updates are soon to come!!!!

![]() If you save nothing else you have to reuse this tail light, it is part of the history of this truck.
