Ain't much but it's progress Got the cab sitting on the frame. Got the frame narrow enough that the cab will sit on it. Have a mock-up engine resting on the mock up mounts. Baby steps...

But out of crazy thing is, I already had sold the frame and motor to a fella accross town. Not thinking obviously.:rolleyes:. Luckily I kept the guys messages, so I shot him a text and asked if I can buy it back, so guess I'll be going to pick it back up tomorrow. Once it's titled if I don't use...

My truck doesn't have the serial number plate. Once I do have a title for it it will tho. I'll stamp one and pop rivet it on.

After spending a good while on the phone with the DMV, the lady assured me that it could be titled, either by a bonded title, or a builders title. But I will need the motor numbers. Maybe the same number on the frame? Don't know. For sure. I wish I could find a serial number on the cab but I've...

One problem may be I have no vin number. One of these days I'll get down to the DMV and ask how to get it legal. If it turns out I can't then I guess I've got some cool yard art. And a little practice under my belt.

I'm actually a really big fan of the 4.3 motor. If the V8 is too tight for my liking I may see if I can find one. I may throw the fenders and cab on the frame this weekend, and put the motor in just to see where things need to go.

ok, so lets say I do use the s10 frame that is in the pictures. and im putting a v8 in place of the v6 that came in the s10. would I need to move the motor back? or forward? I haven't set the motor in it, with the cab. I may be convinced just to use what is already here. if I have to stretch the...

I've got no vin numbers anywhere that I've seen.

It's from a short wheel base S10, it's been cut, and welded, and had pieces welded into it, and cut off. And not by me. I'm thinking of welding the front subframe to the factory frame. I was told it was a 42. I can't swear to anything because it doesn't have a title. I'm waiting until I can put...

It's not long enough. And it's too wide.

Trying to add pictures. Fingers crossed it works

welcome from middle of somewhere Arkansas. im new here too and the fellas are already making me glad I joined. :cool:

this may be a bit winded. but the master plan is I want the frame clean, strong, and painted some color that will stand out when its seen (probably bright red). from there I'd like to put modern suspension with a c notch in the rear to sit nice n low in the weeds, and an independent front...

ive started a build thread. check it out and follow along. gonna be a fun experience.

ive started a build on a 42 chevy. this is my first build. im doing it on the cheapest of cheap. its a project ive dreamed of doing for years and the wife finally agreed. that being said, ive read some of the other posts on here and see that there is a fairly supportive audience. which is good...
