Re: My version of the s10 swap

Some more updates. I'd been driving it around thus far without a front bumper, mainly because it was going to take some re-engineering of the brackets and that was a bigger project than I had time for. I finally made time for it. I had to re-build the front bumper brackets because the "rise" in the original ones was too much for the curve of my frame and the swaybar. I made some new center brackets out of 3/8 x 2" strap, and haven't made kickers out to the outer bolt holes yet because I ran out of steel. Those will be much easier. I wanted to get the bumper as close as possible first, then add some adjustability to get it just perfect.

Here's the pics:
