Everything is there even a 4.3 V6 that fired right up! So with the S-10 frame I have updated brakes, steering and suspension. Many problems solved with this purchase...

Hated stripping it down. Coulda been a good little beater truck. But sacrifices must be made, haha

I'm no fabricator by no means and have no shop to work in so a good friend of mine (Nathaniel) is handling all the welding and technical ****...

Chopped down the frame 7 inches to get the wheelbase lined up and have the front wheels more centered and new cab mounts built. Just a rough pic, not finished

Thinking about buying an Apache. Should a single cab long bed s10 be used instead of the extended cab?

they made way more extended cab S10 trucks than long beds, you will spend less time cutting out 6" of frame than locating a long box S10.

Is the regular/long more of an exact match?

Thank you for all the great information! This will be my winter project on my '59 3100. Only problem is I can't see any of the pictures s is there something I can do to see them?

Either way the info is still awesome!

Cheers!
