I chose the S10 frame route because my truck is going to be more of a "performance vehicle" then anything else.
the S10 gives me much stiffer parallel frame rails (compared to the A frame of the original)
the metallurgy of the steel itself is stronger and more consistent.
along with that, I get the IFS, and a solid foundation to build on.
