I cant wait to get back to work on my s10
I havent posted much for updates to the rusty s10 project lately. but Ill be back to work on it soon. I finally found all the missing parts for my step bed & cant wait to see it on the truck. All that I need to find now are a rear stock type roll pan & a stepside filler tube. I found a guy that Ive almost got talked into trading me his cowl hood for my "trans am" hood & a buddy said he had a set of composite lites for me, Ive got my fingers crossed. Ill be adding ET-II wheels & then... flat black paint, here we come! Old school & S10 arent words spoked together very often, but Im ready to change that! Should I flame it or just leave it flat black?
This thread is worthless without pictures! |

Re: I cant wait to get back to work on my s10
Pictures really would help, hint hint. Flat black and pin stripes.

Re: I cant wait to get back to work on my s10
My wifes truck had to sit, broke down last week (%$&* Fords), so I had to drive the S10 while she drove my POS work car. Back at it again this week.
Like you care!

Sanding sucks, but it is well worth the results.

Re: I cant wait to get back to work on my s10
I enjoy progress pics as much as the finished product. I'm an engineer, I'm not wired to go from A to D, I need to see B and C as well

Re: I cant wait to get back to work on my s10
I had my daughter take a couple pics tonight of my progress. Still slow going & its turning into a lot of work. The bed is in the garage & is about 75% done. I put new front brakes on tonight & all new wheel studs. Ive only got two of the wheels restored but they sure look a lot better than they did after 30 years of tarnish. New tires, studs, lugs, washers & caps. Ive got a new Blazer grill waiting & new composite headlights on the way...

Re: I cant wait to get back to work on my s10
Hey Corn, the truck is looking good. I just tore mine apart too to put a new cam and some old skool double hump heads... It wound up being down for about 2 months. I wound up with a new dizzy, a new intake, new headers, a new tranny (used but new to me) and a stall converter that wouldn't work for a lock-up Th350... It was worth it. i also done some clean up work under the hood. But, anyways, I just wanted to say your truck is looking good man. Keep it up!!

Re: I cant wait to get back to work on my s10

Re: I cant wait to get back to work on my s10
is that your truck from when you bought it?
BTW guys, composite lights will NOT fit in a sealed beam grill, no matter how much cutting you do. |
