Found one for sale today, semi local to me. Same grille as the OP's. 5 window. crappy over spray paint job that's cracking. dash parts missing. No wipers, roof has some denting and I'm not talking hail.
When I saw it I was thinking $2500 would be pricey. He's asking $4950, lol.
Fairly solid though and not rusty from what I could see, but every corner hit something at one point or another, not hard but enough to notice. it appeared to have the original drivetrain. no idea if it runs or how it drives, no one was there and three of the four tires were real low on air and all cracked.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I saw one ,don`t remember the year in the 50s I think at one of those vintage/exotic car dealers here in a high dollar area of North Jersey a few years ago. It was totally restored and the price was $35,000 which I thought was totally insane! It was nice though!

The second truck Bigdad posted is a 48-52 Dodge and the rear fenders appear to be original to the truck. The 3rd truck he posted is a 54 or early 55 Dodge. The rear fenders appear to be the correct fenders for it. The rear fenders on the 53 were the same style as the fenders on the 54 or early 55, though the 53 truck was the same body as the 48-52. 54 and early 55 were a redesigned truck and shared the same sheetmetal. The the roof line changed in mid 55 and that cab remained unchanged up through 1960 on the civilian and up to 67 on the Dodge military trucks. The 57 civilian Dodge pickup received a different front clip, and was a stand alone body. I believe 57 was the first year the non-stepside bed could be ordered. The 58 -60 had the same cab as the late 55 but had another front sheet metal change. The 53 and up rear fenders were used until the end of the step side bed production in the early 80s. Gene

So what is up with the picture thing? I'm trying to post as an accepted file type and its telling me it is an unacceptable file type?
As for as I know it has to be jpg.
Is this a pic from your computer? If so, are you using the attachment manager or the image tag? From your computer you need to use attachment manager. Off the internet, use image tag.

I'm using the attachment manager. I had to change from a windows operating system after windows crashed, and am now using Linux. With the windows I used the same photo editing system for many years and didn't have a problem. The Linux uses its own photo editing I'm not used to, so that could be part of the problem. I think I have them resized small enough but Moparts tells me I need to post pictures in JPEG or PNG (I've tried both) but it tells me the file system it tells me to use is no longer accepted. Gene

...all Mopar with a shiverlay frame?
As has been noted many times before, the s-10 has a very narrow track. WMS on the s10 is 54½ or so and the old Dodge is over 62". I have seen plenty of these swaps and they look kinda goofy.
The Dakota is a better application IMHO. You are right, I used that "all Mopar" term too loosely. I'll post some build pics as it progresses.

The big blue 50 Dodge 4x4 was a great truck that served me well for over 12 years before it met the lady that "didn't see it" head on. That was way back in 2011! Big Blue (sorry, lost the pictures in the last computer crash) was replaced with a red 93 Dakota 4x4, and the crash provided the opportunity for the 48 Plymouth coupe to move forward at a much faster pace. The red Dakota served me well from 2011 until the summer of 2018 when the rust worms claimed enough of the frame I decided to quit driving it. 3 years ago I bought 39-47 Dodge truck sheetmetal at a swap meet to build a shop truck with the intent of replacing the soon to need to be replaced Red Dakota 4x4. The progress on the replacement truck got delayed by several things that required my attention. When it became evident the replacement truck wasn't going to be ready before it was needed, I had to buy a fill in. The fill in was a 96 Dakota extended cab 2wd. It served over last winter, which was pretty rough around here weather wise. This was the 1st year in over 25 years I didn't have a 4x4. We got by (both of us being now retired helped that a lot). So I'm just at the finishing edge of the build that was suppose to be my new shop truck (also a 2 wd), though I really don't need a shop truck anymore. That truck is my 39 I'll post a few pictures of it. This 39 (39-47 are about the same) is the oldest truck I've ever had, I love this body style, but now that it is drivable I have discovered the cab is a bit too confining for the pretty large guy I am. Its OK for short trips, but that isn't what I intended to do with it. My wife and I have decided we should sell it and build a truck with a larger cab. I stumbled across this 49 Dodge on Craig's list, and the sandblasted early 90s Dakota 4x4 chassis was included with it on the purchase price. The Dakota frame is just a rolling frame, but I still have my red Dakota 4x4 that functioned with the exception of the rotted out frame. Merging everything together will produce what I think will be a perfect truck for me. A bigger cab, a reliable early 90s Dakota 4x4 chassis (from down south that has been blasted and primed), and my well known doner truck. The sale of the 39 will have a huge impact at speed at which it will come together. The 49 will probably not be built as high nor as tough as the old 50 was (it was built to pull a car trailer I no longer have, and to plow snow. My needs are different now then they were then, but I do suppose most everyone will be viewing it as a replacement for Big Blue, I know my son has already made that connection. I do intend on having it painted a color other then blue, but at this point I don't know what that might be. Gene
