Just a Truck.

[Belvader]

love seeing this awesome work going down in this thread, turning out great man

[way2fastx3]

Welp its all finished! I mocked up what i needed on certain parts, stripped everything down to bare metal, spot welded some holes shut and now its ready for some color. At first i was going to get everything painted but instead i'm paying a little more and going for powdercoat.

I just dropped off all my parts for powdercoating early this week so i will hopefully have everything back soon. I'm in no rush since i can't really do anything with them right now.

Unfortunately here in good ol Pennsylvania its been a harsh ass winter and since i have no where to actually work on the truck besides outside i'm backed up on the build.

I am going to try and dig out the truck this weekend and begin to take the front end apart to tear out the A/C system and get ready to wire tuck a few things, relocate the battery, ECU and fuse box, and build my trailer fender's for the inside of the bay.

Hey love the truck. I live in NY and just recently acquired and s10. I was wondering on the fall shot what was the set up drop spindles drop shocks and 4" blocks? How did it ride and being that you are now moving over to air ride, will you be willing to part with the old setup? If so what would you be looking to get for it?

I came to his thread because of your teaser thread on s10forum. Spent a few days going through all 32 pages. It was like a good movie that kept getting more and more exciting and I couldn't stop. I've always loved S10s and yours is definitely one of my favorites. Wish I wasn't so far or I would have bought those wheels in a heartbeat.

I was sitting on 2'' drop spindles, 3'' drop springs with a coil cut, 3'' drop leafs and 4'' drop blocks.The ride was rough. The frame was physically sitting on my rear end but had no issues. I had clearance issues in the front with my down-pipe, exhaust and rubbed a little in the wheel wells.

For the time being, i'm holding on to everything just in case i decide to pick up another S-10 and build my drift machine.

Thanks man, i appreciate the positive feedback. Yeah my s10forum thread is just minor and quick. this thread was started way way back before i put this build up anywhere else online.
