Well I havent really posted much on how my s-10s been going, I didnt have the money to drop in the 5.3l so i dropped a 355 in it which mostly was a freebie alot with the th350 and the 9 inch, currently the back frame is being narrowed and installing the coil overs and ladder bars so heres some pics of it

very cool, nothing wrong with a 355

[deimos]

More pics please

[cbmotorsports]

X2 on the more pics. I had a buddy that had pretty much the same thing you have now. A cab and chassis and it was already mini tubed and set up for a BB. I told him if he sold to call me because he wouldn't at the time. Then he sold it and never called me. It would have been fun. I need another project. My a d d is kicking in!

Saw this truck in person tonight, very cool. Nice work on the whole back half especially being completely done in a two car garage by your self. Hope to see it go down the track soon

[SonicS10]

Thanks man although i did have alot of help from friends and tips from randy and ideas from the guy at winners circle i really hope i can get a driveshaft and cage for the grudge day so i can meet everyone on here lol

[andre7276]

how do you like that belt setup youre running im kind look to buy one of those setups

[thirdgen60]

Do they make a belt setup like that for an ls1?

[SonicS10]

I like the gilmer belt drive has a small whine to it but not loud like gear drive i looked it up and im not finding it for a ls motor but id ask randy he would know

[s10king]

S10 love!

[SonicS10]

Okay Its been a few months since I have updated on how the trucks been going. The back framework has been done, axle work has been done, suspension and pretty much everythings been done. All thats left is my Driveshaft, Roll Cage and Tuning. Im hoping I can get aall that through the winter and finally run it next year. But heres the pictures

[patriotformula]

Why such a big tire choice? JW? Looks like its coming along

[SonicS10]

to be honest they were free tires and rims so i decided to use those to set the frame up its better to set it up for a bigger tire and go smaller than.to set it for a small tire and.need.to go bigger lol

[deimos]

Totally dig the stance

[95GT]

She's coming along nicely, John.

[ieatz28]

Love the bigs n littles

[SonicS10]

Thanks Guys I didnt really Like doing the exhaust up and over the frame but that way the only way i could run it out the back lol, and whats everyones opinion on how the tail pipes come out at the angles? Still deciding if i can get used to it lol

[Deleted]

I like this build a lot!

As for the exhaust, I think it would look more clean if it were flush with the bumper or near it. As far as angle, I think I'd either have them coming straight out like you've got them.

[nleming]

Great build, big s10 fan here. My personal opinion with your clean roll pan I'd cut them back and turn them down before the roll pan and keep them hidden. Good work.

[monztermtrsprt]

awesome! have exhaust come out the roll pan?
