Re: Bought a 1950 3600 today
With an S-10 swap you are still getting him into a situation where he starts with a worn out high mileage chassis. The long bed S-10 trucks around here were beat to death by original and later owners usually doing work in the fields as irrigators trucks until they couldn't be bandaided back together. The local migrant worker population still drive them as work trucks and the price stays up on decent ones. Plus you end up with a truck with far less resale value for what you spent on it than you would by keeping the original chassis and doing a proper suspension swap.
