92 S10 -> 65 c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CL ad just popped on a great deal on a 92 s10 without engine or tranny. I know you can grab suspension/brakes off of a 73-87 but can't seem to find what is different about the early 90s stuff. Anyone know if the stuff from the 92 would be usable on my 65?

Well none of the S10 stuff ever fit. The 73 to 87 C10 stuff will bolt in. So the S10 is not a source for parts.

I have to agree w/ PGSigns. S10 pickups are a much smaller geometry with shorter wheel base (and narrower). They are also much lighter duty. While there are a number of folks using S10 complete chassis as a base for street rods, I can't imagine using anything from one in a full sized half ton truck, with the exception of the Borg Warner T5 transmission (if it has one).

Ok, thanks. I saw mentions of S10 swaps on a few forums but they all were cab swaps for racing and whatnot, that must be about all people do.
