Has anyone put this cab on an S-10 frame?
How does it work with regard to the steering and suspension units in the front of the S10?
Does the cab fit side to side properly and does the engine have to be changed?
How about the wooden parts...how to deal with that?
Thanks, ---Nicole

Yes, not bad, pretty good. Bruce Horkey, or Mar-K for the wood.

the suspension should be fine as long as your using the existing s10 drive train the steering column can be used but won't look right aesthetically. A hot rod type steering column with a Double D shaft will make the transition easier as well as look nice. Cab mounts can be made using the s10 mounts just a little modification,the s10 frame is a little long and you will need to cut some of the rear frame off, no big deal a sawzall will take care of it. depending how low you want it to sit the fuel tank will need to be moved or replaced with a cell. I notched the cab and left it in place if you make a clean cut use the piece turned up side down to make a cover for the inside of the cab once you start fitting it together things will make sence
