Found this on craigslist. He used a Starliner frame for the swap.

I kinda like that...

I am getting ready to do a S-10 frame swap on a 50 Chevy pickup. After measuring every thing out it looks like it is actually going to be pretty easy. If all goes as planned, it might be my new way of doing things...

There is an American Indian fellow over in Oklahoma using a S10 frame with the same Chebby PU. From what he posted, it looks like a close match. I used to have his Website but have lost it.

The 47-55 pickup on the S10-S15 frame is a fairly common deal. My son has a 54 GMC Cab from a a Big Dump ( arn't all Chevys and their kin Big Dumps

). From what I have read the long wheelbase frames are more desirable you can break the welds where the front and back halves go together and adjust toget the proper wheelbase.
