Re: Just a few Q's before jumping into S-10/49GMC swap

I have seen another poster having issues with the front hubs on the 4x4 s10's, something about them i think makes them not interchangeable with 2wd spindles? he torched off the axle shaft and used the 4x4 spindles.

may i ask... why do you want to swap frames?

modifying your original frame will be a much less complicated/time consuming project. especially on the fabrication end.

then again, im a firm supporter of the "use your original frame unless its wrecked/damaged" group...

at the end of the day (or year or two) your going to have a truck that handles like an S10... thats not that amazing in my opinion. Although with full airbag suspension im sure it rides nicer, but at the cost of all the modifications to the S10 frame, you could probably put that money in your frame and get a much cleaner result....

as a college student i would think a front suspension swap would be a more time-effective option?
