s10.butcher build

[s10.butcher]

Too bad you weren't in Alberta I could sell you a beautiful '52 international L110 cab and frame (cab in good shape no glass though frame's been cut up a bit from a previous owner ) I just don't have time to work on 2 at the same time

Hey I already have my fair share unfinished/unstarted projects around the yard to listen to the wifey nag about already.... I dont need your help do me a favor and stay in Alberta

 

[s10.butcher]

some small updates...

finished extending the cowl drip section.... [

picked up a G body diff and some boxed arms with poly urethane bushings...

also snagged some dropped spindles....

 

[s10.butcher]

starting to mock up the G body diff...

Its a few inches wider too

 

[klink]

I like it! Very different... nice fab work on the frame.

[sgtpontiac]

Very Nice Indeed!!!

That wider diff stance should look killer...what size meat you using back there??

 

[s10.butcher]

its exactly 4" wider.... havent settled on tire size yet... thinkin around a 28" tall 8" wide in the back....

 

[s10.butcher]

bolt in driveshaft!!!!

just mocked up the drive shaft... took the long section of the original S10 long box 3 piece shaft added the tranny yoke and boom perfect fit [cl

figured Id tally up cost so far:

Truck: $100
Sold Box -$100
Sold Motor Trans -$50
350/700r4 $250
G Body Diff w/Arms $100
Dropped Spindles $80
Air Bags (2) $100

So far $480 in hard parts not including fab materials

 

[Neverdone]

don't worry it all goes up from there...... I keep a running tally on all my projects just because..... It gets pretty shocking how all the nickel and dime stuff adds up....

 

[sgtpontiac]

I don't dare but that stuff down in writing....

I'm afraid my wife might find it and then..........well, I'd just keep going anyway....lol Wouldn't be the first time in 33 years that she's been mad at me.....

Any progress on the S10?

 

[dodgedartgt]

I just came across this forum a few days ago and joined. Your's was one of the first builds I read. I'm curious if you've had any more progress since last posts. I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome as I have a Dakota I've been thinking about doing similar to.
