has anyone ever swapped out there entire frame from the luv to an s10 i have a frame i could possibly use what major mods if any would need to be done lemme know thanks

Stock LUV frame is WAY stronger, if it is just the 6 lug thing, IMO, it would be better to do one of the 5 lug swaps that are floating around...

i have a completely boxed frame front engine x member is notched and plated its got a narrowed rear clip fuel cell mounts and battery mount all work is done to it to be a full race frame and i was considering swapping my luv body onto it plus get the benefit of the nicer front suspension with a zq8 steering box

OK, that is a little different. I haven't swapped between them, but the track width is narrower on the LUV front and rear, so mods would be needed to get the front wheels tucked in...

are u sure about that? i have an s10 rear in my truck as many people do with no issues

You have an s10 rear, but you have offset wheels. You will have to do the same with the front. Not sure if it will work then, as even a skinny front racing wheel sticks out on a LUV front. I have a s10 and a LUV in the garage, the difference is noticeable to me...

I would still think the Stock luv frame is much stronger than the S10.... even fulley boxed.

You have to remember that in japan, these trucks were required to fill a 3/4 tons trucks job.
