Re: Search for a 1949 is over Let the FUN begin...

love the chevy II!


you could try to find an ext cab, they are usually cheaper and I like using them more than long beds because: once you shorten the frame the wheelbase is exact and the bed to cab gap is smaller, and the s10 reg cab bed floor is only about 3 inches shorter than the AD shortbed so if you use the steel floor and tubs you can get all 8 bed bolts in, and you dont have to completely remove the rear cabb mount/front bed mount on an ext cab frame, just cut the cab mount piece off and box it back.

if you dont want to shorten the fame thats understandable, you can use offset pin plates on the springs to move the axle up a little
