Re: 51 Chevy 1/2 ton, My S10 swap

great progress. IMHO, I'd paint the inside and jams and then paint it when you get it moched up on your frame. Reason is, there will be transporting and moching up and always something to add in later. So if you had a nice painted up cab that you might have to keep moving around, bolting fenders on and off etc, it could get a little dinged up. Plus I like to have everything like pedals and engine hooked up and you can drive it with just the cab, then from there, all you have to do is bolt stuff back on. Fenders and bed, I'd paint separate and that way you can get pumped on your paint scheme. Atleast that is what I'll be doing. Keep searching on CL and honestly you might have to make a drive to get an s-10 frame and or maybe you'll find someone that has clipped an original frame and is selling it.
