I'm in a bind with my Binder, 
and I need your input. Let me know what you guys think.
Since my International is frameless, my plan is to go with an S10 chassis but I can not nail down a wheelbase and bed length.
Stock, I have a 130" WB with an 8 foot bed. My options without shortening or stretching an S10 fame are 108", 118" and 123".
So here are my ideas:
Stick with the 130" WB and 8ft bed. Just the way it came.
Or start short. 108" WB with a 6ft bed. The axle centerline is centered on the bed. The rear fenders are longer on the back half so there is less bed side.
Same WB, 108" with a 6.5ft bed. This proportions the bed sheetmetal and IMO, works.
Next we'll extend it to a 118" WB and a 6.5ft bed.
Or a 118" WB and a 7ft bed. This may work with as low as I plan on driving it.
And last, 123" WB and a 7ft bed.
Or 123" WB and the original 8ft bed.
