Does anyone out there know what chassis and front ends would be most compatible for the original body? My original frame is rough. [Reply]  [Send Email]

I found a couple of sites where the guy used an S-10 frame with discs, but it made no mention of 4x4. That was my idea and I am getting really excited about it, especially since the original frame will need substantial welding anyway. I also didn't realize the S-10's came as a 4x4 option. I'll dig deeper. Thanks!   [Reply]  [Send Email]
