Welcome to CHR! Like DaveS says, if you describe your problems someone can jump in and help. I hate to see the S10 swap on the Jeep. One fixed up on the stock frame with a modern powertrain will bring good money if you make it 4x4.Last edited by rspears; 04-01-2013 at 04:34 PM.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Welcome to CHR! Glad to have you here. Just personal preference but, I'd prefer to keep the original chassis as well.
I'd think it easier to fit a new drivetrain into the chassis than shortening / narrowing and re-creating all the mounts.
But that's just me. Share some pics when you're able we love watchin' a build!
