anyone have an idea on what size tires in going to need to run for the front and rear?

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-03-2014, 09:34 AM

Well I got a little bit of work done on the S10 frame yesterday. Nothing exciting.

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-03-2014, 09:39 AM

Also finally found a set of 2013 Camaro SS wheels 20"x8.5" front and 20"x10" rear. Tire size is going to be 235-40-20 Front and 255-35-20 Rear.

IWanna49 · 09-04-2014, 04:02 PM

Such nice wheels! I'll definitely be following along on this one. Be interesting to see if you will have any clearance probs on the front. I certainly hope not!!

Yeah you and me both!

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-05-2014, 09:38 AM

Well did a little bit of cutting and grinding and grinding.....and grinding........ Those rear mounts are a pain in the butt.

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-08-2014, 05:26 PM

Scored at the junkyard this weekend. Pulled a almost brand new set of Bilteins the HD front sway bar, and the correct E-brake cable I needed all for 60.00!!!!
So I got to work on it.

FarmerSid · 09-10-2014, 08:44 AM

Good score!

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-12-2014, 02:27 AM

Worked on the chassis today. Finished removing the old S10 body mounts and made way for the new mounts. Also test fit one of the 20" SS wheels.

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-13-2014, 12:24 AM

Well got some more work done today, grinding, welding,cutting,sanding......Got all 4 body mounts tack welded in place on the S10 chassis, and started to remove everything on the the 50, getting ready to pull the cab and check fitment on the new frame.

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-13-2014, 12:25 AM

Anyone need a frame????

chuckmc8 · 09-13-2014, 06:02 AM

Cool build! subd

IWanna49 · 09-13-2014, 06:09 PM

So....how did the Camaro wheel test fit go??? Pics???

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-13-2014, 06:33 PM

Well I'm definitely going to need a 2 1/2 inch spacer front and the rear I might need to swap out the S 10 lugs for the 14 mm Camaro lugs. once I get the body and the sheet-metal back on, I'll be able to check wheel fitment.

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-13-2014, 07:33 PM

Today I was able to get the cab resting on the new S10 chassis mounts. Feel pretty good about that. Have a little bit of tweaking to do. Nothing major.

Clay54 · 09-13-2014, 07:34 PM

In post #16 (3rd picture) and other post also, there is a canister behind the gas tank. Hate to show my ignorance, but what is that? Clay

That is the S10's charcoal canister (smog stuff)

Thanks, my '89 S10 was made for California with all the smog stuff but not sure where that canister is. Might be under the hood somewhere, haven't paid that much attention yet. Thanks for your reply. Clay

CaliforniaDaddy · 09-14-2014, 03:51 PM

Need everyone's eyeballs on this one. How does the front wheels look in the wheelwells pretty centered using your eyeballs? I split the tape in the middle at 13 1/2 inches

**oldman3** · 09-14-2014, 06:51 PM

Looks good, I would rather have it a little forward than back. When it comes down it should look just right...Jim

yeah that's what I am thinking. I'm going to go have my wheels and tires mounted. So Ill take another picture with those in place. I have 2" drop spindles for the front and 3" blocks for the rear.

IWanna49 · 09-14-2014, 08:14 PM

Looks good! Will like it better with the SS wheels!!

BlueJeep · 09-14-2014, 09:50 PM

Put the spindles on first, and put the largest diameter tires on that you have to gauge where they should go (I used 235/75R15's when I did mine). Also put the hood on too, these fenders can be up or down 2" in the front and you wouldn't know without the hood being on and the hood gaps fairly close.
