The thread is here at another site. I need to post some better pics, I've changed some things since the last ones I posted there.

But the basics are this:

-1946 GMC 3/4 ton body, with the box and running boards shortened 9.5".
-1985 S-10 regular cab long box frame
-1992 S-10 Steering column, booster, diff (3:42), seat.
-1975 Buick 455 with Comp cam, Edelbrock intake, Demon carb, TH400.
-Northern radiator aluminum rad (direct fit for Hemi 'cuda).
-16" Flex-a-lite 2500CFM Pusher fan, 14" Flex-a-lite flex fan.
-31x10.5x15" Rear tires, 225/65/15 Front tires.
-Custom built Wheel Vintiques Artillery wheels, 15x8" front reversed with 3.5" backspace, 15x10" rear reversed with 3.75" backspace.

By the looks of it I set the front wheels further forward in the wheelwells than you did. It was just what looked right to me. Hopefully you get time and resources to work on yours soon!
That looks awesome. And I hear you on the front wheels, that's my biggest fear, whether or not we made the right choice. There's really no turning back after you place the front wheels! I think once the sheetmetal is all lined up, they will appear to be more towards the front. If I remember right, we don't have all of the bracing in the fenders yet.
