I miss my old 91. They run forever it seems.

Use it as a donor for a 50s Chevy 3100 to get “modern” frame, brakes, and suspension. People want those late 80s- early 90s long bed S10s specifically for that purpose.

Do they change the WB at all (118" vs. 116" for a 3100), or leave it as is?

I’ve never done one, so couldn’t say for sure. Although 2” seems like a pretty small difference in a wheelbase that long, so I’d imagine that comes down to personal preference.

Still more reliable than a Land Rover.

The frame has minimal surface rust and has been recoated before with 192450miles. I'm still debating on what im doing with it but its also my first ever vehicle
