Thanks Don. I know a guy who has this friend that is selling his S10 with no motor or tranny. It's an 80's I think but he said he doesn't know if it's and extended longer cab or shorter so I have to find out which one I need and see. He said I may be able to get the whole thing for 100 bucks. If this S10 is in good shape I'd hate to tear it up, those IMO would make a nice little drag truck if built right. But if it's in really bad shape of course I will maybe get it and use the cab for sheet metal. How much power can those S10 rear ends take anyways? A friend of mine has one behind his 31 Chevy 5 Window and he has a built up 350 with tons of power and all blueprinted and balanced, double carbs, aluminum heads, huge cam, etc etc. And in a little car like that it's gotta be pushing at least 400-450hp from all the stuff he has done to it if not more.
Don, I will do the search and see what I can find. I am going to search around the Chevytalk.com forums and look in the 1948 section to see if anyone there has done the swap.

If you wan't something done right, then you have to do it yourself!
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
