I have always loved the style of 48-52 Chevy truck and after seeing those builds, it makes me want to build something like that.

My buddys building a 54 with a ls1 and twin 66mm turbos right now, they are some badass trucks.

Instead of building your own frame, an s-10 one slides under there nicely.

Ya, i have a complete truck also. That is the one that will get the S10 swap. I actually had an S10 to use, but i daily drove it for 2+ years till i bought my 6.2. Sold it couple months ago, needed the cash.
