s10 frame and 48-early 50's chevy truck question

1. Are the 48-early 50's chevrolet truck cabs the same on the 1 ton and on a standard pickup?

2. when swapping to an s10 chassis does the 48 cab mount in the same area as the s10 ?

3. the reason i ask is i have a chance to buy a cab and front clip off early 50's chevrolet 1ton (frame is trash ) though about putting it on my 93 s10 longbed frame and using the s10 longbed since i am only getting a cab and front clip.

PLEASE HELP!!

 

Go to the tech archive, really good thread there on this subject.

 

you will have to make all new mounts for everything.most of the time it's better to modify the stock frame you're in for a lot of work to do what you want.

 

I am in the middle of that swap.
Picturs of the entire process are here:

I think I saw a company that made a conversion kits for the same process. It was at Back to the 50`s a few years ago. Using a S-10 frame and 48-53 pick-ups. Can`t remember there name.

 

There are a couple of places that do that.
PERSONALLY, I thought their prices were fairly steep.
A google search will bring them up.
