Most of the answers you would get here is why would you want to put a frame from a pick-up, on a old car. Not a good idea.

Easy way out of what. If it was such a good idea olds would have put one under it the first time around. The frame under it is what fits, either use that or build your own, using a frame from another car or truck turns out to be a lot of work as nothing fits right.

If you are trying to build some thing fast, putting a different frame under it isn't the fast way to go, IMO. My self I wouldn't do it to start with, if I wanted to get it done fast or slow. Again nothing fits, I'm not saying it can't be done, but I just don't understand why anyone would want to do it. There are many on this board that think the same. You have a frame that fits the car, use it.

whatever, just asking

Dave, there has been a ton of guy's asking this same question about using the S-10 chassis (do a search, you'll see) under everything from a Hupmobile to a Peterbuilt. I don't know what the S-10 and your '39 wheel bases are but if you could look at a side view picture of the 2 you would see the challenge....I would assume. Unless the original chassis was completely rusted out, bent ot damaged to the point of unusable I would get it sand blasted, box the frame and spend my money on doing the upgrades to it........much easier.
