Are there any differences in cabs between the big bolts and small bolt cabs
I have two cabs the big bolt has better sheetmetal
Planing on s10 conversion as we have an s10 already

big bolt = 1.5 ton and larger ?
small bolt = 1 ton 3/4 ton 1/2 ton?

if thats what you are asking, there are no major differences. you will need to add a 1/2 ton e- brake bracket to the outside of the toe board/firewall, the 1/2 ton inner fender on the drivers side is 1" shorter for the bracket.

And if your talking complete cab with fenders and hood and grill, then yes there is a difference...firewall forward is bigger..

No just cab front clip is bigger
Thanks Joedoh

I thought minor differences was not sure of floor pan and firewall

I picked up a 52 years ago was not until i got it home and started to compare it to another truck i put it on the back burner a few years ago i got my little bro a 52 short box pushing him lets get it together

Joedoe nailed it spot on. Big trucks have the park brake on the back of the trans and have the brake handle next to the shifter. Hence they don't need or have a park brake on the floor. You won't use that with the S-10 swap but if you have a complete donor snag the S-10 park brake pedal and cable assembly to put in the AD. Keep that bracket off your 3000 series as you have to use it to bolt on the inner fender.
