S10 frame

Which of the S10 frame(s) is the most suitable for the 49/54 swap when plans call for a V8/auto power train?

Re: S10 frame

The frames are all the same, very little change throughout their production. Only real difference is if you plan on using the s10 brake booster is to look for ABS.

Re: S10 frame

I used an '89 regular cab longbed that had a 4.3 v6. The frame was boxxed in the front from the factory.
