from the internet::

I would ''never'' do it.. The work it will take, and will ''never'' look right under it, isn't worth it..
People don't realize how much easier it is to just put a clip in it   


I have a friend, who welded in, a late model "little Bonneville" front clip  He got front suspension with power steering, and disc brakes, for 100.00..   He welded in rear Camaro type rear springs amd hangars 

is the s10 frame the same width. as carl states don't do it. clips are a lot easier maybe use the s10 clip with the s10 leaf and mounts on the rear. then you don't have to frig with body mount locations and rear kick up on the frame.

lots of people use s10 frames for this myfriend just did a 48 chevy this way apparantly the frame can be loosened at the point where the 2 halfs come together to adjust wheelbase.Came out ok but as carl says alot of work

ok so i have two 39 chev frames it would just be easeir to work with those than to throw a body on s-10 chassis , wouuld early camaro fit just aswell as the nova? and for mounting say a 283 or 350 you could possibly work off the motor mts of whatever you pull the front end off of

This is the S10 clip, we used in 1992 Sunbird Conv.    its a nice way to get power steering    Took it to alignment shop, and it was almost perfect
