Re: s10 extended cab chassis shortening?
Side note on me. back in the mid 70's in McGregor Tx a buddy gave me a 60 something Ford sedan with a 351 in it that had some issues with the body. I cut the body up over about four days hauling a load of body parts to the scrap yard each day leaving rolling chassis. Someone gave me a late 30's early 40's Chevy truck cab for hauling it off and the light bulb came on and the tape measure came out. I towed the Frame to the shop where I worked on Saturday morning took the torch to it to cut the kickouts that moved the frame rails out. moved the rails in to make for straight rails, welded it back up and towed it home and sat the truck cab on it by hand. I never did get it running and gave it to the neighbor kid when I moved because he really liked it. It was probably the granddaddy of all Texas rat rod bobber trucks.
