Slammy Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Using late model S10 4x4 Rearend with disc, axle moved back 5.5". 18x10s out back and i believe 18x8 up front. Doing a simple bag on the lower bar setup. Frame will not be laying since the body hangs down past the frame. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I did some reading a while back about doing this, couple of companies that make the body mounting kit. Pretty cool idea, super easy to bag now. Quote Link to comment

Slammy Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Holds pinion angle beautiful, stays on the axle centerline and gets about 9" of lift before the driveshaft will hit that tube. Quote Link to comment
67 411 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Nice welding/fab skills Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Nice welding/fab skills agreed, coming from the fab industry that looks very good. nice execution on the 4 link. most ppl eff that up royaly Quote Link to comment
Xander_42 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Nice welding/fab skills ^^X2 Seriously nicely done, can't wait until my welds look even 30% as good as that. What process are you using, TIG with pulse, or are doing that without pulse (if so damn!)? Nice looking frame. Pics of the body/cab? Do you do welding/fab professionally, or just for fun?

Its not TIG, its MIG and i started welding in 1996 just tinkering with my own stuff. Ive had welding jobs but they dont pay crap so i never stay. Quote Link to comment
Xander_42 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 HOLY SHIT! You're MIG welds look fucking amazing! Maybe someday, when I've been welding for 15 years, my welds will look half as good as yours. Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 i cant wait to see the body on this thing Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 hey slammy how close is the s10 wheelbase to the 50 chevy? is the 50 a long bed or short? i see you moved the axle back but is that due to the bed style or just necessary to put the s10 frame under it Quote Link to comment

This one is a reg cab short bed so it was too short which is why he had me move the axle back. Now the end of the frame is too short but i got an idear im gonna run past him tomorrow about taking care of that. Quote Link to comment

Slammy Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 thats to put a shortbed body on it right? if thats the case it wont work for me as i have a longbed yea his is a shortbed. You could use a longbed s10 frame and just extend it id think Quote Link to comment
