S-10 front clip

[tobins 52 gmc]

I have a 52 GMC and a 1985 GMC S-10 . I measure the out side of the frame on the 52 and its 36in , the 1985 s-10 measured 36in on the inside ,with the same dept of frame 5 1/4 in .I was thinking of cutting the 52 frame back under the cab and matching the s-10 ,over lapimg it about a foot and using som plate under and on top, then i would not have to buy a kit or fab one up and to mention the time saved . This is my first build and i would like some input.Thanks robert
