Re: Yet Another s10 swap

Here is a great example of an s-10 59 apache swap http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=398361&page=5

Task force track width
60.75 inches, while the rear track measures 61.02 inches.

S-10
54.4"Front 54.6"Rear (6.3" narrower than task force)
4x4 is about 57.2"F 55.1"R

The track width for an AD is 58.5 up front 2.25" narrower than the Taskforce

So in essence I wouldn't say it wouldn't work, because you could use spacers, as I and lots of people have done on the AD trucks. Plus if you are like me, I like a lot of tuck in the front fenders, I don't like em way out flush with the fenders.

On the other had, yeah you can go with the camaro or firebird but going shorter (s-10 route) allows you to control your wheel tuck, but on the other hand limits exhaust and gets crowded.

The options are endless and there is no right or wrong, just preference. I really think this should be in a new thread, so we don't clog this one up and I think it is great info fro someone else wanting to do this swap.
