You might want to do some research on this site. I think the S-10 track width is a little narrow for the 55-59 trucks which means the tires will be inset into the wheelwell unless you run spacers. Some places do not allow wheel spacers.

Yea, I meant to tell him the S-10 wouldn't work. That link is to the Caprice conversion.
