Thanks 99 to Life and RootBeer. Thanks for your support and encouragement. I need to get a little clean up on the garage so I can regroup and move on.
I found the old Camaro rotors and calipers yesterday that came off my donor car. They are in great shape. I did some checking at Autozone.com and if I read it right, the 84 Camaro used the same rotors and calipers as the 94 S10. I guess I'm assuming the actual hub and bearings will be the same. I will look into that further. The rotors I got with this S10 chassis are junk and it had no calipers so one more example of working on a budget.

I'll fit everything first to make sure, then clean up the bearings and repack them if they are ok and replace the seals. Again keeping it low budget.
I still need to decide what to do about my gas tank. I put up a thread and got some responses but not sure which way to go yet. Im using a 1984 Carberated 305 with a mechanical on-engine fuel pump on my build. The guy who owned my 94 S10 Chassis before I got it, removed the in-tank pump and left me with just a shell with no inlets or lid, etc. I Know I could replace all that, but I would like to use the mechanical pump.
Coupguy2001 said "Measure the diameter. I have a gas pickup out of a 78 chevy pickup, and I was about to throw it away.
It's yours for the shipping if the diameter is the same."
1Project2many said "Shouldn't be a big deal. In '94 the fuel pump was separate from the sending unit. So you could buy a sender and use a short piece of steel tubing in place of the fuel pump. They still sell fuel tank socks for carb applications so there's no trouble getting the strainer."
Mr48Chevy said, "You might look at a sending unit off an 82/84 S-10 with a carburetored V6 that had a mechanical pump."
"Something like what Coupeguy2001 offered may actually work better though if the height of the float is right because it only has two lines running to it. The pickup line and the return line."
To Be honest I had been so busy trying to get this thing into a rolling chassis the last 3 days I had not had much time to contemplate the possibilities suggested. Will give it some thought this week.
