Has anyone ever put a luv body on a s-10 frame by chance?

I give a similar answer every time this comes up. An s-10 has 5 lug front and rear with no torsion bar. The frame is not fully boxed and does not have the crossmembers that a LUV does. Strength wise, the LUV is a better option. If I was swapping to a different chassis if the LUV chassis is bad, I would look into a Nissan Hardbody frame. Similar to the LUV strengthwise, and it is 6 lug with the torsion bars. You can go 5 lug on those easier than a LUV and there are plenty of frame laying options for those...

I have access to one for free that's the only reason I was asking. Thanks for the reply I guess I'll forget about that lol. My luv was a 4wd and I want it to be a 2wd street truck that I'm going to put a sbc in. So I'm trying to figure out the best cheapest way to convert the front end.

Gonna start on my S10 frame swap soon. My Luv frame is Rotted beyond repair and I like the ZQ8 option the 99 Extreme has.
