Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!
be careful how low you mount the body on the frame, you will need a trans tunnel and maybe a driveshaft tunnel and your bed floor will only be a couple inches deep.
also, the lower you mount the body the harder it is to mount the radiator, and if you plan on not moving the engine/trans back (not my suggested way but also not my project) you will need every inch.
if you put a 4/5 drop suspension on the s10 frame (2" spindles, 2" coils, 3" leafs, and 2" blocks) and use body mounts that are 3.5" tall, you will have a crazy earthworm.
