not sure if the orange frame with the supra irs is an s10 frame, but if it is did that person have to shorten the axles and how did they match up lug patterns. thanks in advance for any info

$10K for a frame that wont break and that gets the job done is a fair deal. I've got half that in materials for mine. steel is expensive. rod ends are expensive, IRS is expensive even from a junk yard. most importantly, time is expensive. Most of the chassis you see here are custom designed and built. No jigs involved, which means it takes ton of time to design one with a suspension that will make the truck handle safely as well as lay flat on the ground. As with everything else in life..you get what you pay for.

That blue frame looks pretty good, but are those front cab mounts only angle? That doesnt seem that strong without gussets.
