S-10 4X4 under 53 chevy truck

[pablo]

OK I have aquired an 85 chevy S-10 4X4 and a 53 chevy delux cab, for the grand total of... free. I know a lot of guys have put the s-10 chassis under the 48 to 54 chevy trucks, has any one done a 4X4? I intend to put a small block in it and leave it the stock height for a daily driver. if any one has pictures of how its done, or can steer me in the right direction that would be great.

PS i have lots of s-10 stuff for sale now, cab, fenders bed canopy hood bumpers etc.

thanks guys

Pablo, There's been discussion of this on the HAMB. Maybe a search there would turn up something.

My buddy did this years ago for a guy in town. The motor needs to be moved back for sure. They used the 4.3 vortec and had to be moved back. It came out great and looked stock height.

Check this site for description of doing it yourself:

And this guy sells a kit to do it:

I have a '50 Chevy cab setting on a '87 S-10 4x4 right now. But rather than call it a project I'd say its currently more like trying to conserve storage space...
