Started out with a 50 F6

Put the cab on a s10 short bed frame, put a blazer fuel tank in the rear

Did a 4 inch suspension drop, with springs and drop spindles, channeled over the frame about 6 inches, dropped in a small block 400 and a turbo 400 about 8 inches back of the stock location, has a very nice stance [dr

Yea a lot of guys don't like them but I do, power breaks and steering, its going to handle like a go cart

Any way to mount a rack and pinion on there? A-arms don't bug me, it's the steering box and frame horns sticking out.

F5 on S10 frame

More pics please. Interested in seeing what you did at back of cab. Did you narrow frame or notch cab? I'm doing a 52 F5 cab on lwb S10 frame with engine a little farther back and plan to use late camaro rack & pinion and the narrowed 12 bolt rear end out of my drag car.

A rack is possible, looking into that now, but with setting the motor and the cab back 8 inches it puts the radiator right at the box, I cut the frame horns off, so the front wheels will end up right at the radiator, nothing will be sticking out when its done.
Keep in mind also, this is a small budget build, I purchased a s10, a s10 blazer, and a 78 Chevy van for motor and trans, took everything I needed and sold off leftover parts, motors, trans, then took all the rest to the scrapper, all together im out about 100 bucks so far

I notched the cab at the rear, my bed will cover it so I went that way, will get more pic's up this week
