Chew,

If you are going with this project, there is one other piece of information you might find helpful. As you know the S-10 is a very narrow truck and you will probably have to use wide or reversed wheels with a lot of offset to the outside. It is my understanding that the S-10 4x4 rear end it is about four inches wider than the 2wd S-10 and may be a better fit under under the F-1.

I have measured the frame from a long box regular cab S-10 and ranger--They are within an inch in length of a 50 F1 But are 6 to 7 inches narrower

it sounds like all the hard work is done. just make sure its done decently.
if you buy it bagging it will be like 314564651648956565656x easier because everything would just bolt on.
