Nice swap! I hardly see those Luv trucks around anymore. Was its frame based off of any other GM?

thanks . i dont really know ill ask on luvtruck.com. I redid my whole frame and made my own suspension it had torsion bars and it was six lug. i converted it to coilovers and s10 spindles making plates for the bottom ball joints. the frame is fully boxed with 6 crossmembers so it is STRONG! I did the LUV mainly because you dont see them anymore and as far as i know there is no other LUV with a LS SERIES motor swapped into it. This is my second luv and the body was ruff and still is in spots! they were bad about rusting out!
