Ghettoluxury when you say flip the axle you mean on the 123" s10 frame right? Thats great advice and absolutely would be the best option. thanks a lot

I'm in Tampa Clearwater area. I was just up at Gainesville airport an hour ago for a flight @ work.

You are in Gainesville right?

Ya I live in Gainesville. The truck will be located in New Smyrna Beach area which is south of Daytona Beach.

I have a question for everyone. I located a 2001 chevy s10 extended cab short bed rolling frame. Since my truck is the 125" wheelbase this is the best candidate for my body. Id like to keep the bed the 7 foot it is. I like it because its different. Anyways I can pick up the frame for 250 any opinions on what I should do? Thanks for your help!

First off go buy that frame. That is the one needed for your long bed. Just flip the springs end for end and you will be set.

Here's a well planned long bed sitting on a extended cab S10 frame.
