what are the best years of s10 for frame swap to 1952 chevy truck

[sparky smile]

I have a 1952 chevy truck and want to swap frame to a s10. I am also going to use a 5.3 engine. What are the best years to do this? I have herd that if you use a 1994 to 2004 the steering column and bake pedals are hard to use. If you use a1993 to 1983 that you can use steering column, brake pedal and wiring harness. I know the easyest to use is a long bed s10. I assume I need a automatic trans in the s10 because of steering column Is the frame better in the 1994 to 2004.
