Re: S10 Swap how to
when I put the front end on for mock up, I put the whole clip together (truthfully on most trucks I dont even take it apart), cut the core support and inner fenders where skymangs indicates on the first page of this thread. I get a helper (usually its my left arm helping my right though) and get the rear of the fenders with a couple bolts to the cab (just one on each side), then use a jack to set the front height by shutting the hood to be sure everything lines up. the jack will let you lift/trim/lower/check hood alignment.
I see people take the whole front end all the way apart and dont really understand why. sure if you are doing a real paint job or have collision damage (like my current truck) it makes sense, but if you are just doing a rust-oration and an cruiser s10 swap you can leave it all together. if you unbolt it at the cab (inners and outer fenders) and unbolt/cut the core support, its pretty easy to use leverage and tilt it over the fenders.
