Well it's been a while. What can I say other than... Life. Work, military, family other projects, Blah blah blah.

So I pushed the 67 camaro project in the corner and broke the year long hiatus of working on this truck and picked up an extended cab s10 and then realized it was 4wd. Well... $200 down the drain but shortly after found a 2wd version for $100 and stripped that down.

I drug the Camaro 327 out of the corner of the garage and mated it to a T5 that I picked off Craigslist for 400 with the bell housing clutch and flywheel. Unfortunately it's from an 86 camaro so the shifter is too far back which means I'll have to make some linkage to set the shifter forward.

I made a set of Sarge's cab mounts and motor mounts. Then chopped up the S10 transmission crossmember to mount the T5.

The picture uploads aren't working at the moment so I'll have to wait to get back from vacation.
