Re: S10 Frame Swap w/ AD and LS motor

I got a couple things done on the bed this weekend. I cut and sectioned the bed bottom (using the original S10 metal), and I welded the new front bed supports to the frame by using 2"x2" metal tubing. I still need to do some grinding and smoothing to the bed bottom, and then cut the width down to around 49" wide.

Finished length on the bed will be 82 1/2" long. This will require me taking about 7 1/2" out of my bedsides and running boards (originally a 3/4 ton longbed).
