I was so skeptical at first! But wow that thing is coming together I am very impressed! Would love these guys to do my truck for me

Hi I think it's going to be a great project can't wait to see you finish it. I got a 51 Ford truck and I am looking do the S10 using the 504 kit. Any tips would be appreciated 👍

hi buddy a questio whats exactly frame swap in this truck

[@garyjones2582]

That patina as it's called is plain old skin cancer.. I appreciate your enthusiasm but it's going to be a lot of work..

[@gordonsmart]

Correct

[@MidwestToolReview]

It’s only “a lot of work” if you’re lazy…

What uear s10 did u use

[@gordonsmart]

If I remember correctly it was around an 89 square body S 10. But you can use any year S 10 chassis. Single cab long bed is exactly the right length.

@@gordonsmart I'm currently building a 1958 GMC 100 swapped onto a full 1994 S10 extended cab chassis. I'm going with a L99 Lt1 engine, mated to a 4L60E transmission. I'm using the everything I can from the donor S10, as I purchased a complete truck, excluding the engine. The only question I have is, why did they lift the cab so high...? I don't know why they simply couldn't have used the original cab mounts, with a mild lift to help align the steering shaft with the S10 gear box...
