Was thinking about this the other day and was wondering if it was even possible if to put the corvette frame with drivetrain and all under the first gen's. I mean im sure with the enough modifications it would work, but do you think it would be practical to even attempt.

im thinking it would be possible with everything staying somewhat in the stock s-10 location with a little mods to the cab. I was driving home today and was looking at the cab and thinking how i could mod it to were the shifter would come out in the some spot as the dimes. the only thing that i might have to do to my seats is switch to buckets and bring the dash down, or put the buckets in and bang the tunnel up so that everything is with in reasonable reaching distance while driving.

LS2 with a T56, Ford 9", coilovers in front with adjustable arms, 4 linked rear with coilovers, done...haha.

I dont see the need to actually run a Vette front suspension, but making the torque tube and IRS fit would be cool.

Whatever route you take, its going to take a good amount or even a lot of fabrication. I dont think there going to be and bang this around and cut a hole here to fit it easily.

yea thats what i was thinking so when i have all the time and a lot more money ill try this to see how hard it would be and how much it would cost. but i know of a place around were im at that is kinda like a vette graveyard and i dont see them going away anytime soon

i probably know a corvette chassis better than anyone on this forum, keep in mind you would need a frame to bolt both corvette sub frames to. the corvette is definately wider, especially the rear, i dont remember the exact dimensions.the best way to attempt a swap like this would be trying to fit the truck body on a modified corvette frame.

would it be worth it? not at all. just buy a vette, chicks like them better anyway.

it would be a waste of a corvette and an s-10.
