S10 chassis under c2500

[Dropped88]

Read info. So it has a s10 rear end and s10 4x4 front clip.

Now it has a 7.5" 10bolt instead of a 8.5" and hacked on front clip. Seems a bit much just for some wheels and agree with above on the cold welds

So, what was swapped. I read the description but I'm curious of more details. S10 suspension and all? Or just the S10 rear end perched on 1500 leafs? Frame cut up front with S10 grafted on? Seems like a lot of work. Those welds look cold as hell too. And, it's not reinforced.

Must have got his welding tips from S10 forums.. that's what most of those trucks look like underneath, and worse

So many inaccuracies. Not a 94 cab. Not a 2500. Not Tahoe seats. Not a 700R4 if it has 97 running gear. Not professionally built. I doubt it's actually a Chevy, it has a GMC steering wheel.
This is a great example of someone who has no clue what they're talking about, but is trying to catch a buyer who knows even less.

The VIN comes back to a 94 2500 350/4L80E work truck, yellow paint with blue vinyl seats.

"Mad Fabricator" posted a pic of his work like he done good. smh

There's a lot going on in those full size pics.

Curious why you say it's not a 94 cab? 3rd brake light (CHMSL) comes in 94 for first year so it could very well be. It's got the screw holes and studs on the passenger side firewall for the 88-94 electrical convenience center that 95-up does not use. Looks like they shortened frame from LWB to SWB and did a.. uh.. questionable.. job on that as well as every other damn thing they touched.

It better be the 94 cab if the VIN provided comes back as one. The fuzz don't care for those that mess with the dash tag.

4K "high dollar" Coys wheels.. Coys are cast Chinesium.

The interior is 95+ door panels, dash, gauges, with a GMC steering wheel.
It was a work truck, so maybe someone swapped all that in. But the workmanship looks clean, and the rest of the truck well, not so much.

This discussion is a good example of why we need the experience and expertise that's available on this forum! With these trucks getting popular ( because older trucks are too expensive and much newer ones, you can't do too much to) there's unscrupulous individuals out there who will take your hard earned $$$ for a Frankenstein truck or worse.

Sure, but the interior swap really isn't that big of a job. I could imagine many have probably done it without even swapping the steering column support. GMC steering wheel is likely just from whatever donor truck gave up the dash - note that the VIN supplied is from a 1994 Chevy C2500 (8600 gvwr) reg cab; dash is 97 (or later) as described in the ad (passenger airbag style)steering wheel and dashboard are airbag style which would only come in vehicles less than 8600 gvwr (1500's and light duty 2500's) in fact the steering wheel is very late GMT400 - 98-99. A 97 still has the wide/flat-appearing style airbag wheel, not the smaller squared off airbag. Check it!
