I shortened a long bed S-10 frame by 30"...not to hard to do to lenghten it...the section under the cab, up front near the fire wall you'll see where the front section goes from "box" to "c" channel...thats the BEST place to start for any cutting...make sure you measure 100 times, keep notes...

We had a weekend??? LOL!!! Went waaaayyyyy to fast for me, I did manage to pump about a gallon of gas onto the floor after gettin my fuel supply line hooked to pump. FYI- if there's another fitting on the pump (not the one to carb), but 2 actual hose barbs on the pump, hook em up to...

ALRIGHT!!!! I found a place VERY locally(a few miles from the house) that will do a 1/4" flat laminate safety glass!!! They never asked what it for but can do it in less than 48 hours...and cheap...$60.00 for the piece I need...WOOOHOOO!!! Thanks guys for all your help, it paid off!!! I...

Klien-Dikert told me they dont do that kind of work, Auto glass specialists told me the same...I didnt think that a plain 'ol glass shop would have laminated safety glass...I'll look into that. I dont need any radius' cut in it...just a plain 'ol rectangle. Thanks again guys!

Thanks guys, I tried the glass shops locally and the reputable ones dont do flat glass, I did contact a joint I found on google but after getting a quote from them of $175.00 plus shipping realized they were in California...I gotta think I should be able to find something...maybe I'll call a...

[SI am at the point in my build where I am ready to install the windshield. Trouble being- I dont have one!!! (Big Problem) :eek: I would like to know if there is somewhere in the mid-west(closer to Wisconsin the better)that I can get a piece of windshield glass cut to my dimensions..flat...

Rex, Yeah, the S-10 is pretty easy to get around here but its the same as anywhere, most people think their stuff is made of gold. I picked this one up at a local service station (the owner didnt feel it was worth fixin, and dropped off the title). I think I stole it for $300!!!!

I can't wait to get mine finished. Driving everyday, everywhere!!! Work, store, take the kids to school, Heck- my oldest son wants to take it for prom!!! Oh yeah, its winter in the mid-west...thank goodness for heated garage!!! But, MAN, I cant wait for spring and the first test drive!!!!

Welcome, I am also new and LOVE the friendliness and willingness from every member so far!!!

Sgt., yeah it is the varijet carb...I got that all figured out (I think LOL). There were 2 lines in the frame originally...3/8" that I know was the supply line to the fuel pump, but like I said, when hooking that line up I discovered and smaller line 5/16" going into the frame right next to the...

Hey guys, I need a chunck of info from y'all...I am working on plumbing my fuel delivery system (back to front) and lo and behold once I got to the mechanical fuel pump on my '82 2.8L Chevy motor I found that there is a fuel return line...Larger 3/8" line into pump from tank, steel formed line...

Well, as we all know most good ideas have to start somewhere...the boys and I were talking smack in the garage one day and I found a great idea in the bottom of a can! I needed to get to work finding a donor vehicle, low and behold I found a ratty S-10 pick-up at a local garage that the owner...

Ok, so I think I have most of the pics ready to go (size, description) and I want to get started on a build thread but I cant figure out how to insert the pics into the thread where I want them (after each descriptive paragraph) to illustrate what I'm talkin 'bout...can y'all help me out...

I am wanting to start a buils thread (in the correct forum of course) what I am wondering is...If I start the thread with pics etc. in cronological order, as I progress, can I edit the post to add future pics and bios to keep it up to date??? Thanks fellas, new here and wanna make sure I get it...

Sunny, I can certainly post a build thread...where would I post that? Is there a special section for those types of threads?
