Tom,
I will try to keep a written account along with photos so when I
get around to starting a web page I can post them and hopefully help
anyone else that decides to an S-10 frame. As for cutting the frame I
haven't got that far, but it looks like I my have to cut a little off of
each
end. I am using a 1986 S-10 longbed frame. As for the wheelbase I
measured two other 50 model panels and the wheel base showed to
be the same. I have rolled it under the truck but haven't jacked it up in
place yet. From the floor it looks like it needs to be cut down about one
inch but I can't really say until I get it in place.

It sure would be great if you could keep a written record (and photos)
of everything that you do to get your AD mounted on the S10 frame. I
have seen sites that tell how to put a V8 in a S10 but what you are
doing would be a good way to have modern brakes, steering and
suspension. What S10 model frame are you using? Will it require
cutting the frame to shorten it as some people have said?
