Superior Glass Works is excited to offer our 37 Chevy S10 Body Kit that permits the installation of our ’37 Chevy Cabriolet and Sedan Delivery 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.

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. (OR slightly modify the front fender to add clearance for the stock stearing box.)

·         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 body kit for the S10 frame 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 Here for more information on each of these bodies.
