The S10 frame is easily shortened, so if you start with a long one, making it the right length is not a big deal. The 4x4 has a wider rear axle, and fits better than the 2wd rears do. The S10 guys ha

I didn't know that. The only guy I've discussed the V-8 swap with moved the whole works backward to make it fit. I'm betting the 292 would require moving something to make it fit... -- Original Messa

The 1/2-tons are generally worth more than any of the bigger trucks because to most people they are more desirable and more collectible. Same value as a 1/2-ton? No, I don't think so. As for street r
