These responses are extremely helpful! Thank you.

I found a longbox S10 for $50 so that's how this started. I have plenty of room in my shop and two friends that are mechanics and welders that are 100% in on helping me with this.

I have heard many people saying keeping the old frame and swapping out the suspension is a good way to go. One advantage I think to the swap is that I am putting a new engine in the truck so when Im done with the swap I'll have a running frame and engine that I can put another body on to flip and sell.

Anyone else have ideas or input! Thanks again!!
