Re: Yet Another s10 swap

I get quite a few requests for new measurements and updated information, and I am very hesitant because I'm not totally finished (been down that road of giving bad info). What I will tell you is the best advise I have. Get yourself a few chunks of 2x4 and scrap 1/2 inch plywood the same dimensions as the 2x4s. Drill a 2" hole in 4 of the 2x4s to allow for the s10 stock cab bushings. Nail the 2x4s together so that you have one un-drilled, one drilled and the 1/2 inch plywood between. They should be roughly 3 1/2 inches tall. Set your bushing in the hole and you are set to start mock up. Keep your cab and front clip together, removing your inner fender skirts and the pan below the grill. You may have to shim with scrap wood or washers, but this is a great way to start. Remember, if you go this low you will have to modify a few things, but I think you will be happier with it in the long run. Hope that answers your question. If you have more, fire away.
