Pretty much as the title says, for those that have completed or are in the process of completing an S10 frame swap on a 47-53 AD truck, what are your thoughts on the S10 chassis now that you’re doing/have done it?

Would you do the swap over again, or restore and upgrade the original chassis?

Were there any surprises, or unexpected setbacks that you wish you would have known about beforehand?

Was there any quality or fitment issues with the kit you used, or components that you felt should have been part of the kit that weren’t?

Any advantage of using a round body S10 frame vs the older square body S10?

Any other insight that would be good to know before starting one?
