Re: Ideal Wheelbase for S10 Frame Conversion
This is where the stand back and look at it directly from the side to see exactly where having the tires in the wheel well openings comes into play.
I'd say that most guys feel that 116 is a tad short and doesn't put the rear wheel perfectly in the center of the opening. Some like to move the front wheel a bit forward in the opening with independent front ends.
Since you have to shorten the frame anyhow getting it perfect means more than an exact measurement that someone else suggests or the exact measurement of the standard cab long box S-10 You don't need to compromise as you can put the rear wheels where it will look perfect.
