It's not as simple as cutting the floor out of something & just sitting it on the frame. The W's wheelbase is 107.5 inches. The S-10's short bed has a 108.3-inch wheelbase, the long bed has a 118-inch wheelbase and the extended cab has a 123-inch wheelbase. You might be able to get away with hacking the spring mounts on the third member & repositioning them an inch forward on the shortbed S10 frame. This, of course isn't taking into account track width, or cutting the front of the W's unibody for frame, suspension & motor clearance. Good luck. Buy a welder & invest in patience.

mihela816 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 It would be easier if you used a unibody rather than a body-on-frame for the donor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EurosportZ34 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 i'm almost positive somebody posted about this a couple months ago... for sure man, if you are serious...then do it!! it would be the 2nd first gen W that I know of that would be RWD. i hear that the frame from a '95-'96ish Impala might work.

3.1LUMITIC Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Yup i know its gonna be an blood sweat an tears job but owell ive always loved the w-body its an timeless look but any ways i have every thng i need right here an with the 107 an 108 thing that nothing just cut out an inch of the frame im waiting on an few more parts to come in befor i get started on this 1 an i have an 85 firebird but there no way im cutting the bird up for stuff... later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOHC_WBody Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 an with the 107 an 108 thing that nothing just cut out an inch of the frame This alone proves you don't have any business fucking with tools near a car. It would be safer as well as easier to move the rear end mounts on the springs than it would to cut the damn frame in two. Seriously. Put the hacksaw & bailing wire down before you fuck up a perfectly good car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gp90se Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 We have a very simple solution to this, do it, post pics, and we'll all go "oh ah" till then, go play with your tools. cutting frame for an inch is stupid, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddflash Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 If you're gonna do this can I ask why you are using an S10? Why not use a car frame, atleast then it won't handle like a shopping cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
