s10 chassis vs. tube chassis

I'm just starting out and I would like to know pros and cons of a welded together tube chassis or an S10 chassis. I prefer mandrel bent tube chassis but I can't afford it.

No offense...but don't expect a huge response to your question. This topic has been discussed on a number of threads in the past which you can view by using the search function near the top of the page. If you have specific questions after reading through the wealth of knowledge already accumulated on these pages...fire away.

It all has a lot to do with what body you are going to put on the S-10 frame.....some work well and some don't. On the tube frames...I prefer the rectangular tubing over the round. Use the search function here on this site to look up more information on this.
