  • ugly, squicky, and rusty

    so, i have been looking around at these forums for a while, and i have enjoyed them. so i figured i will share my poor mans build of a truck thats low enough for me right now. it started as a regular old mans truck, as a 92 s10 regular cab long bed, tahoe trim with a 2.8 5 speed.

    it stayed this way for most of a year minus small things, then i wrecked it this past September, and needed a front end swap. so i swapped the front end from a junkier parts truck. it was ugly, so i did what any poor person with no painting skills would do, i surface rusted it. soon after i had the money to lower it, so i bought 2 inch coils, 2 inch spindles and 4 inch blocks. and it made it pretty lower for not touching anything else photo CAM00546_zps8a47a561.jpg
    it rode like shit, so i put air shocks on. and picked up some bmw wheels and tires, dirt cheap, threw on rear spacers and i didnt get the right front ones =( but heres that

    Not a fan of the surface rust thing. Even a rattle bomb paint job would've been better, IMO. To each his own.
