Just for reference purposes.
Stock wheelbase for extended cab S-10 (1st and 2nd gen) is 122.9".
The factory K5 wheelbase is 106.5" in regards to the picture above with an extended cab S-10 on a K5 frame, and assuming he kept the axles in the same location.
Assuming you want to keep it pretty low the front axle will need to be stretched forward quite a bit to clear the firewall with 39.5" tires, plus it will help with approach angles. I think you will be able to stay right around 117" but probably won't have a lot of play room without getting into the cab with either the front or rear tires.
