(How-to) - Yet Another s10 Swap

Anyone have any pics of what they ended up cutting out of the inner fenders? Or anything behind or under the grill. I'm planning on sectioning the rad support.

 

I am starting a frame swap to a extend cab s10 and was wondering the best thing to do about the driveshaft. It currently is a 2 pcs. Thanks for all the helpful info.

Switch to a one-piece driveshaft. First you need to center the wheel openings of the new body on the centers of the S=10 front and rear axles. Shorten the frame as needed. Then with the firewall in its final position you can locate the engine/trans in the frame. Remove the crossmember that holds the bearing for the 2-piece shaft, then measure for the new driveshaft. If you're lucky you might be able to use an S-10 shaft from one of the shorter versions.

I'm curious whether a new bed could be built using the S-10 bed floor and back board with the earlier sides and tailgate grafted on top. If so, the stock S-10 bed mounts on the frame could be used as is, saving some fabrication.

 

thanks for the info

 

Jeff,

Did you take a picture of how you mount the rear of your bed? I am wondering that. ANy help would be appreciated.
