I found another thread that covers a fair bit of this just to add to the conversation. Great information by the way...

I am still having difficulty, time-to-build aside, thinking that an S10 chassis swap is equally costly in $$$ than all the parts I would need for my AD to be mechanically current.

A short list from researching today:
Mustang II or similar IFS front end: $3000
Power steering $800
Steering Column $700
Rear end conversion to disc $600 add a brake master to that $100
Bed mount fuel tank $400 (I currently don't have a working fuel tank)

An S10 in good condition is going to be the price of that front end. Am I missing something here?

I understand both will take a lot of time and both have their complications with fabrication.
