What else have S10 Frames been used under??

i'm pretty sure they do right in front of the front spring hanger, just under the back of the cab. its in a straight section so it shouldn't be to hard to shorten/stretch.

not to hi-jack the thread, but while we are on the subject, what fits nice under a 41 chev coupe? did i hear (read) TOYOTA?

 

I put a short bed 50 chevy truck on a standard cab long bed S10. fits better than it should be allowed.

 

The seam is closer to the front, about a foot behind the front body mount. If you can find a 2wd blazer it may be closer to 102-102 inches, the swb pickup is 108.

 

Do a search for a post by Rocky about putting an S10 ch***is under a 40 chevy. Someone there responded that the Toyota pickup ch***is works better for that swap due to the frame not being a straight ladder frame.

 

A friend of mine put one under a '48 GMC suburban and the wheelbase was right on. He cut the floor out and made body mounts/crossmembers out of sq. tubing and had it sitting loooow without touching the suspension at all and had plenty of tire clearance.

I'm the one with the 59 Vette on a STANDARD S10 frame[Porkn******s] old ch***is....
It is set up with a 4 link and 9' Ford rear/dropped spindles etc -=a great ch***is, I ended up getting in a three way tradeMenage-AW-TRADE?
I SHORTENED IT TO 103"
My "vette" is a race car-SHELL body with no floor or inner structure.....
If it were a real Vette.......
I would IMMEDIATELY cut it and do the VERY same thing.
They were a peice of **** car and if you ever drove a stocker you know why...
I am not usually in favor of an S10 swap as they are almost always too narrow in reality.
They do drive nice and parts are easy and cheap,however- so wheel width/offset is a small trade-off......
I would be interested in learning about the fit of one under a 59 Rambler American though as I have a 2 dr wagon I got here in a Hamb auction
