'47 (art Deco) to S10 std cab short box

[Goatnut]

OK, I have been gathering parts for a future frame swap and have some questions. I read that most folks are using std cab long box s-10's for their frame swaps. I have a short box donor that I would like to use. I was planning to section 3-4" out of the box to make it work.

Are there other considerations that would make me want to look for a long box s-10 frame? I have also been told that the frames are the same in Astro vans? Anyone able to confirm this?

I've found many conversions already on this site but was wondering if there was other reading suggestions to learn more about this swap?

Thanks!
