Help Me Pick A Wheelbase For My International Harvester

[homealone]

You need an extended cab s10 to have the correct wheel base. Did a 1954 3100 long bed truck and it work perfect. The s10 blazer frame will not work at all the frame narrows by the front doors.

That's where I have the luxury of creating my own wheelbase. The way it's looking, the ExCab, 118" WB is the route I will probably take.

If you don't mind a drive I know a guy in Monroe, La who was parting out an extended cab mid 90's s10. If you're on Facebook, look up JR Hansen, and shoot him a message if you're interested.

Looks good as is 130/8 and of course it looks good at 108/6 but I'd stay long.
The 118/7 is a nice compromise. Nice project either way!

another vote for the 130 and 8. That look fits it to me

I will keep that in mind but sub $600 S-10 trucks are all over DFW. I am looking for a complete truck because if you have seen my other builds, I make use of most of the donor vehicles.

Time for a little update. Life if tough when you have a real job and other projects.

I found a S10/Sonoma chassis that fit my plan. Small world,our very own Brooks had this for sale.

So I picked up this Sonoma yesterday. I'll start putting together parts to install one of my surplus 5.3L and 5spd transmissions and hopefully start the swap after Goodguys in a few weeks.

Same WB, 108" with a 6.5ft bed. This proportions the bed sheetmetal and IMO, works.





..yup.

I liked that one best too.
