C.Sanchez.A Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Ok I have a 1993 Mazda B3000 (Ford ranger) that I've put allot of work into the cab. Now, I have the opportunity to purchase an S10 (not sure of the year), with a 350 V8. There is nothing wrong with the S10, I just find they are over used. So, I was wondering if it was possible to put the B3K body on the S10 frame and vise versa. I really want to keep the B3K, it's the first vehicle that I have bought. Hope that made sense.

Berto Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Watch some older Street Customs episodes. They show a good amount of the process. But I don't know if it's worth it in your situation.

C.Sanchez.A Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Well if I stick with the S10, I'm going to have to rethink my whole sound system... Blow through? I'm going to check out the truck tomorrow... I'll post a video of it and get some more impute... I just really don't want to get rid of my B3K... My GF won't let me keep both...

I agree with you Blownengine...It's going to cost him more in the long run,especially if he don't have the right tools and knowledge...I would just go with the S10..

P4killer_ Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 if it were a ford ranger , or even the same family of company, ie not cheve / gm id say theres a chance, not that itd be worth it, cuz it wouldnt and still take a long time. but going to the s-10 would prolly easilly double your work and really be not worth it.. either man up and tell the girl your gonna keep your toy or take a picture and off she goes.. :/ Quote Setup: 2010 Hyundai Elantra Factory Unit via 4 chan NVX LOC Excessive Amperage "H/O" Alt Xs D3400/ Xs XP3000 Big 3. 2 Runs of +, 2 Runs of - DD M3b and 2 12" AQ HDC4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, I could take my time fixing the B3K to get it up to selling point (The interior is gutted for my install) and keep both for that time...
