    Chop Top V8 89' S10 - Scrap Pile

    Thanks guys, appreciate it! Hmm, good idea, I'll have to look into the trans xmember like you said. I don't really want to use stock suspension stuff, I feel like it'll make the truck too high. I'm scared of heights...:p Here is my daily driver WRX that I was forced to raise a few inches due...

    Haha I like the way both of you think! So.... It's in!! Didn't give us too hard of a time. Going to have to get new suspension because these lowering springs cannot handle the weight, truck is just sitting on the bumpstops:eek: Next order of business is to drill new holes in the frame so I...

    You ask for a picture, you get a picture Flex plate is on Just rolled the truck in the garage and got a few people that say they'll be over to help drop the motor in (They said that last time too and bailed), so if they show, the motor should be in by the end of the night! If any of you fellas...

    Chop Top V8 89' S10 - Scrap Pile

    I'm fine if it takes a while to blow up the current diff, that'll just give me more thinking time on how to do a dually. In my head even having the inside tires as wide as the cab and the outside poking out a lot sounds badass to me! The only thing that I've been thinking may not go so well is...

    Chop Top V8 89' S10 - Scrap Pile

    I don't have the full kit, just bought a B8/S10 motor mount kit and can use the oem trans crossmember. For headers it's just going to dump behind my front tires which my buddy will fab something up for me. So onto the next step (in my mind I like to think many steps ahead) I am just going to...

    My rusty/ratty 1948 Chevrolet truck

    This truck is awesome!! Great job on it How hard was it to rebody the '48 body onto the s10 frame? When I get sick of my chop top original cab this is what I may want to do down the road

    It's been a while fellas!! No place to wrench and currently very motivated on a different hobby. But my buddy has got an old mercedes (pictured below) which we dropped on the ground and has got an LT1 in it, he just pulled it out today and sent me a video of it running. Which really motivated...
