NEW - 1937 Chevy S10 Body Kit !!

Superior Glass Works is excited to offer our new 37 Chevy S10 Body Kit that permits the installation of our ’37 Chevy fiberglass bodies on a donor S10 pickup truck frame.  Our 1937-38 Chevy Cabriolet and 1937-38 Chevy Sedan Delivery bodies have been re-engineered so that they can be mounted to a modified 1983-2002 S-10 donor chassis.  The original body lines and dimensions are retained, so no compromise was made in the looks of these classic street rods.  Ideal for the street rodder who can’t find an original ’37 Chevy frame for one of these bodies or one who wants to save a few dollars while putting together a nice driving hot rod. 

Kit Components - Complete Body and Fender Package

Donor Chassis

Any 1983-2002 S-10, 2-wheel drive pickup with a 118” (Standard cab/long bed) or 123” (Extended cab/short bed) wheelbase is a suitable donor.  Either size requires the stock S10 wheelbase to be shorted to 113.25” as needed for our 1937-38 Chevy body.  This is accomplished by either installing a 4-bar rear suspension or shortening the center of the donor frame. 

 Effort and Skills Required

This is NOT a bolt-on kit.  Fabrication, welding, general problem-solving, and hot-rodding skills are required to modify the donor S10 frame to complete the installation of our 1937-38 Chevy body. 

Summary of Frame Modifications

·         Remove all original body, bed, transmission, and motor mounts.  Remove steering box and steering linkage

·         Cut off front and rear of frame

·         Install rack and pinion - There are several kits available for the S10 chassis that will work.

·         Adjust Wheelbase – Shorten frame (cut and re-weld) or install 4-bar (kits available)

·         Fabricate radiator support, motor and transmission mounts

Body Installation

The floor of our fiberglass body has been built to contour exactly to the S10 donor frame you are using and will bolt down without modification.  The one-piece nose requires fabrication to install in the style you choose, and it can be made to tilt forward or unpin.  The rear fenders and running boards install as stock.  Click below for more information on each of these bodies.

** 1937 Chevy Cabriolet- $13,600

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer modified, S10 frames for sale?  No, we do not.  Part of the cost savings with using the donor frame is to apply your own labor and to avoid paying chassis shipping charges.  Also, we don't want to be responsible for selecting a used chassis that may not meet the customer's approval. 

Do any of your other bodies fit on an S10 or any other donor chassis?  No, only the '37-'38 Chevy bodies have been designed for this swap.  The biggest challenge is that most early bodies (32 Fords, 34 Chevys) are too narrow at the cowl for the S10 frame.  Like anything in hot rodding, it can be made to work, but it requires extensive fabrication and modification. 

Which S10 models will work?  ONLY the Standard Cab/Long Bed (118" wheelbase) and the Extra Cab/Short Bed (123" wheelbase), 2-wheel-drive chassis will work.  No Blazers.  No 4-wheel-drives.

Why use an S10 as the donor chassis?  They are readily availble, inexpensive, and there are already a ton of performance parts available like dropped spindles, brake kits, etc. The S10 chassis has also been used successfully by countless hot rodders as a donor for many classic cars and trucks.

How much will it cost me to modify and build up my S10 donor chassis?  There are a lot of variables, but assuming you purchase dropped spindles and get a good deal on the initial chassis, and not counting labor, you should be done for $2000-$3000. 

Can I use other parts from the S10 donor vehicle? Certainly the motor and transmission can be re-used, but other than that we have not attempted to re-use other parts like the steering column, fuel tank, wiring, etc.  Please let us know what parts you successfully re-use!
