Re: s10 v8

Wow 77 el camino now thats a wide body. If your wanting to build a one off frame, I would just get the differentials, and go from there. Find a divorced transfer case, that way your engine and transmission selection won't be limited. Plus you can position the TC where you have good driveline angle when it gets lifted.

im going to be remaking all of the mounts custom, baisacly im just keeping the frame for shape and strength and im going to look into ways to reinforce it so that it will have a higher towing capacity

Re: s10 v8

im looking at doing a 77 like this (link) or a 73 like in the picture. i know im going to have a 8" suspension lift then a 2" shackle lift. ive been seeing on el camino central that the different generations had different wheel bases, would either of those two gens fit on the s10 frame with min fab or would i have to build the custom frame either way?
