Hey guys, I know some of yall are gonna give me crap for this & others will enjoy it cuz its cool

Well Im prolly gonna start working on my 50 Ford F-1 to have a putter to drive that is cool & gets decent MPG

I was wondering if any of yall had worked on one of these pickups & mainly if you know anything about putting one on a S-10 frame or clipping the Ford frame with the S-10 front clip ???

Here is a pic of it

I know they use a long wheel base regular cab s10 frame under AD chevy trucks all the time. That might work for you too. a Dodge dakota might be a good donor too. Might want to take a tape measure to a wrecking yard and see what you find. I have three of those trucks, two 1/2 tons and a 2 ton, I can tell you that clipping with an s10 frame will be a challenge, there are some differences in width.

Brings back memories. I used to have a '50 F4 dually rollin on 18's. And not the type you see today either

OARNGESI · 04-08-2009, 07:51 AM

Nice new project

70k52wd · 04-08-2009, 08:35 AM

Those are cool trucks. Good luck with your project.

When I was in HS I had a friend who's dad had a 68 Ford long bed with a race bred (I mean litteraly came out of an 8 second T-Bird) 396 stuffed in it.

We're not talking '61 Vettes here -- cross polinate till it's cool.

Spray-Bomb · 04-09-2009, 05:16 PM

Thanks guys, I know of a few S-10s around here that some of my buddys have that I can get for a song, so Ima go measure on them & see what I need exactly

I may find that I just wanna build new body mounts & use the S-10 frame, but there is still the option of clipping it if that is too much of a chore (which I doubt it is)

Cool thing is, where I work we have all kinds of bad ass tools to make stuff for it

Need to patch the floor & put in a new battery box & I bought a fuel tank today (not permanent, but will work for a while) then once I get the cab on the frame Ima Z it to make it low & then I can get my engine & trans mounts made & put the rest of teh body on

Ima wire it from scratch too

Spray-Bomb · 04-11-2009, 01:17 AM

Don't worry.. I never mind seeing a rusty Ford!

Those are pretty cool body styles though...

Skirkpat · 04-13-2009, 02:14 PM

I would check to see if a 66-72 Chevelle or 70-81 camaro, or an old Volares if I am not mistaken,front end would not work a little better. I think the frame is alot narrower on the S-10 and does not match up as well, I know that they are not as beefy either, Grab the 10 or 12 bolt also? Old Ford trucks kick @$$ by the way..All cars are Cool, some just are cooler than others.

NOW THIS MAY BE CONSIDERED BLASPHEMY? HeHeHee , LOL

**special-K** · 04-13-2009, 03:12 PM

My neighbor put a 350 in a`77 Ford Explorer that appeared totally stock with whitewalls,wheelcovers,gold paint.That was one good running Ford.

I just put my spare 350 in my Suburban to get it moving this Summer, I was toying with the I dea of throwing it in there to carry the theme a little farther

**70C10Toejam** · 04-19-2009, 12:13 AM

I like those old body styles too. I know a guy around here who has a F100 unibody as the next project.

thirdstreettito · 04-26-2009, 02:00 PM

Ranger frame?

JJ · 07-19-2009, 06:48 PM
