Keep it simple & cheap. This a easy frame/body mod that can be done almost as easy w/out a kit, thus the kit has to be cheap to sell. I have done many of these trks. (AD trks)w/o a kit. I have used The S10 frame swap, Camaro, mid size GM's & Must II.
The S10 certainly has it's disadvantages due to it's narrow front track & frame kick -up aft of the cab.

People use the s-10 frame because it is cheap. If you are going to put $1500 in a s-10 kit I think there is better ways to go.

There already exists a kit for arond $1100 & I do not think a s-10 kit that sells for more than that would be a best seller.
