Re: S10 frame swap vs. Front and rear clip on 51 chevy
Shortening an S10 X cab frame is easy. Cab mounts are far from hard, even without a lot of experience. The radiator/front mount system is the hardest to figure out but it still isn't that hard with as many that have been done.
The ride is fine. My son's 54 with a 327/4 speed is smooth and tight at 80+ mph.
If you already have one, you are 3/4 of the way done. I'm not into kits, I think they are not worth the money but then again, I work in automotive and have a lot of friends that can help. It is a good learning experience.
