Are you modding the s10 frame and building body mounts? www.ad-engineering.com

they sell a bolt-on kit that adapts the older body to a 2wd 1st gen s10 longbed frame

yes, i am building everything myself. i know about the kit, its around $1000 and im not spenfing that much money on something i can make myself for pennies. also, i started with a shortbed frame which is why i cut it in half and stretched it to fit the 1953's 115" wheelbase.

well, i thought i had the frame ready to go back together but i have to notch the extension pieces a little to make it fit right. so about 20 minutes worth of work and the frame will be in one piece again but i'll do that tomorrow because i need to get a few hours of sleep before i have to go back to work.
