Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

Chris

Looks good to me . . . . .

a long time back - - I had swapped my 53 IH 1/2 ton onto a
Chevy car chassis : IH wheel base = 115" - 64 Chevy Impala =
w/b = 120" . So, I did just like everyone here - and, centered my front
wheels to the front fender opening (and let it ride), for the back
wheel opening. Most (all) people don't even notice (those 5" difference).
This was back in the mid 70's . . (I had my truck on the road in
'76 . . . and, drove everywhere = ( my DD, for over ten years) .
Now days - - people see that difference in 'wheel-base' .. . . . plus ,
these trucks just look much better - centered up .
After reading all these " AD to S-10" frame swaps ........ it's almost time to rebuild th' ol' IH , and up-date the truck ..............

Even more so, With all Your Help & Information from Your Many
build post & great info for 'S-10 / AD' swaps ..............
Meaning - - - THANK You For Your time & knowledge ..................
(and, very sorry to hear about your shop closing ) .

I'll keep watching , for sure . . . Best of time for you , going forward.

later , jim
