Been a while since I posted. I am waiting for my brother to empty a spot in his garage to put the frame in. As soon as the frame is in I will be bolting the motor and trans up and figuring out what drop trans crossmember I will need. The Chicago weather has been snow free so far but way to...

Got the frame all power washed and ready to start throwing the motor and trans in. Need to save some money and pick up the motor mounts then I can start bolting everything in and see where I can mount the cab. Will post pics as soon as I begin mounting everything.

Finally got the pictures to upload. Here are two pictures of the s10 I got, body looks good from far away but body work was pretty bad so I had no problem tearing it apart. The frame only has light surface rust. The other picture is from last weekend when I picked the cab up from my buddies.

Thank you for the support. If I wasn't paying for school it would be on a custom frame but the s10 seemed the best route right now. My birthdays in a couple weeks so I plan on getting the motor mounts and start mocking up the motor and transfer that my brother gave me so I can figure out how to...

Picked the cab up and it's currently sitting on the trailer. Gotta finish taking everything off the s10 frame before I can start getting the motor and trans mounted. Got a welder yesterday from Eastwood. For a inexpensive mig welder it sure can lay a good bead down. So now the sparks can fly!

I like the s10 since a sbc and th400 is basically an easy swap and I am a bowtie guy but couldn't beat the price of the cab

tried posting this yesterday but it wouldn't let me post pics and still won't. After asking around a buddy of mine heard of a 91 s10 for sale, I called him and bought it, its a 4 cylinder 5 speed truck, complete running and driving. He accepted my offer and I picked it up. Body work was...

I decided one day to stop at a buddies for a bolt and saw this 1946 truck cab sitting in the corner, he explained that he had it for his rat rod but found a cab in slightly better shape so decided to go with that one. I asked if he would sell it and he said he would. We agreed on $300 for it...

If 2fast isn't interested in the s10 I may be I'm about 45 minutes south east of Woodstock

What part of Wisconsin, I have a summer house in edgerton

I'm north of Chicago. Yea I know it's not the prettiest and I'm a decent welder. I'm trying to make this a budget build. I just like that I can do a lot with the s10 suspension for cheaper. Maybe later I will pick up a 30s cab and build my own frame. And I would rather do an s10 cause I'm a...

I'll start a build thread as soon as I get a s10 chassis, I currently don't have any room for storage so the build will have to wait a little.

Just wanted to introduce myself and my new project. I'm 20 years old and have worked on cars since I was little. I am also currently going to school to get a degree in Automotive service technology. After going to a buddies house a few times I saw this cab sitting next to his garage, he...
