I have a 50 Plymouth chassis and I am looking for a S-10 body to put on it.... I Really want the Blazer body style... Too many pick ups out there already... Just leave it on the chassis it was built on....
And caps lock because??? BTW: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274702&highlight=definitive
Is your frame rusted beyond repair? Bent? If your frame is good, leave it alone. Do something really different,... Get a big Chrysler engine and put that in it!!! Almost any Chrysler engine is cool, all old Hemi's and all B- blocks! Lucky667
You already have IFS. If your frame isn't beyond hope, just keep what you have and throw a badass old hemi in it or maybe a wedge, update the front end bushings and drive the snot out of it. Maybe you can find an old Magnum and snag the Dana rear end and 440 out of it and call it good. Reeeeaaaallll Good!
I know I shouldn't ask this but here goes... Have you compared the wheelbase of yer 50 Plymouth to any of the S10 wheelbases? If the answer is "no" then you should start researching before you ask extremely vague questions like you just did. Good luck.
Call me after you fuck everything up I will come get the plymouth coupe body but you can keep the S-10 frame......
Seriously man, if you're looking for that sort of info, you'll find it here: Definitive S-10 Frame Swap Vehicle List http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274702 But it's not for everybody - if your frame is fine, I say keep it and bag it. A frame swap can be a big headache. It's not always a walk in the park... ~Jason
Just a heads up, your 50 Plymouth frame can be use for a street rod if you change out the crappy brakes, front and rear, correct the front shocks, Ply mounted the shock on the top a arm and the bottom a arm it works but not good you need to fab mounting brackets for the top of the frame for them, then hope your steering box is good, but with all you have to do you can do faster than changing over to an S-10 . I changed mine over because it had over 1 -1 1/2 inches of undercoating on it so any fab work required time to scrape and clean before you could weld or do crap to it and that got old real fast... so check out your frame first, Fat Man has dropped spindles , ply-do has disc brake conversions, others have lowering blocks and engine mounting kits for all most any thing you want to throw in it........ good luck
