more rambling
oh..it's on an '84 extended cab S10..with 2 1/2 inch wheel spacers...with reinforcedleaf springs... I still need to stiffen up the frame cause I have some twisting on uneven surfaces like turning into my up hill driveway..thinking a roll bar in the cab might help..the front end doesn't add any strength either..any ideas would be welcomed..I have absolutely no room under the hood..also I dropped the front to the ground as you can see..and I dropped (chaneled) the cab 5 inches lower by cutting the cab at the bottom of the doors..so I have a 5 inch cowl induction hahahah..but I had to get a custom radiator and electric fan..have about 3/4 clearance to pulleys.. it still overheated until I fab'd the cold air induction pipe coming out of the driver's side hood.. I wound't say its ram air though..but at 75 it really is stronger.. also I didn't want to replace that beautiful glass (bullet hole and all) so I made it a permanent sun visor.. this truck I believe was military.. the mileage was just 47K..its green..and at some point the truck was seriously over loaded..bed was bent and sign of welding the cab where it was broke due to the weight..it was hell getting the doors to shut but they do now..perfectly.. the pics were before I accomplished that.. I really would like to get together with some rat rodders here in north Alabama..just don't critic my first build too much hahahaha.. also I have a '50 chevy 1 1/2 ton with suicide duallys..want to drop it, shorten it and put a big block..the body has hardly no rust unlike the international..so will probably not cut it up so much..the internal was beyond help... and probaly paint the '50 hot rod black...be great for going to motorcyle rallys with my custom 2000 Victory (radical too with lineX bedliner paint, chopped, etc) that i've ridden all over the US and Canada..but at 50 years old and getting remarried soon I'm now gonna be one of those guys I used to make fun of...and ..ouch..hall it to sturgis and daytona..getting old sucks..gotta have toys..and a much younger wife!!!!!!!..guys I'm having soooo much fun building these things.. I spend 25 hrs a week in my garage...while still working a real job..my woman drinks beer and watches hahahaha..oh we broke the '47 in the "right" way a few weeks ago LOL..ok I've run out of s%%% to say...normal not this verbose but getting me on this subject.. oh, I'm an engineer by trade..
