Update: Nailed down an S10. It 4wd but will be DE 4x4ed. Havent lost interest! Just have children happening, so thats slows progress. Also thnking of a low pressure turbo on the 4.3l V6. Thats all for now.

Thanks for the replys. I'll wait for those pics. I think the gen 2s just have a taller frame that might be harder to tuck/hide under the body.

Has anyone seen a Gen 2 4wd s10 frame under a 1950s ish car? I've done a lot of research on how much it can be lowered and all the dimentions. It'll fit. I'd just like to see an example. Anyone got pics or know of someone doing this swap? I'm afraid of the frame being too tall under the doors...

Heres the pics from when I rolled her out the other day. Currently cleaning out my dads pole barn so soon I can really dig in. Still workin on the title too. Stay tuned.

I rolled her out of the garage one sunny day a week ago. Pictures to come later this eve. I haven't got much farther, But I'm in the process of getting a title before I tear it down. I also got a body repair kit so I can straighten some sheet metal out.

Yeah I have a 1950 studebaker champion 4 door. I lurked around the web sites for quite some time before I decided to jump in. The opportunity arose and I bought the car out of a farmers field. I have a Build thread on here. I go to as many shows as I can for more motivation and ideas. I'm new to...

I'm From Elk River north of the cities a little ways. Any projects on the horizon?

welcome fellow minnesotan! Where abouts are you from?

Welcome from mn. I love the dually fenderless rats! And the diesels. Can't wait to watch your build! Looks good so far.

Good deal I try and make it to as many as possible. I've never heard of the rusty eyeball one. When usually is it? The Princeton one was cool last year but it rained most of the day.

Thanks 52stude43 I hope to see your truck at a couple shows this summer!

Thanks dmw56 ill research that option. I got some more time in the garage the other morn. I removed the seats and cleaned the floor. Found lots of holes. Also that the B pillar on the pass side in not attached at the bottom due to rust. So all the doors and hatches along with both fender vents...

Hey dmw56 what subframe did you use on your champion? Also how difficult is it to make that line up and guarantee its straight?

Alright I started a thread in the build section. Only four pics right now but more to come this eve. Thanks for the interest. I've only seen one of these ratted and it was a '51.

I bought her labor day 2011. It sat in a cow pasture for 10+ years. Has original motor and trans and rear end but they will all be changed out. Plans as of now 4.3l gm V6, nv3500 5spd trans, and a rear end out of a trans am with 2.72 gears in it. Its going to stay blue patina. Ill keep this...

Its going to stay unpainted and pretty much as it is. Different motor and trans and rear end. I'll post in the builds section soon with lots of pics all the way through! Thanks for your interest.
