S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
I asked Liz about this before posting, so I think I am in the clear.
Some club members and I, along with a few friends are going to be doing a charity build of sorts. Not necessarily for a charity, but for what we feel is a good cause. This kid has been hanging around the club for a while now, and since meeting us he won't stop talking about getting a bagged truck. He has Epilepsy and Turrets, as well as a speech impediment. He has been working, and saving money all year, and recently bought a first gen S10. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5245/p1010931.jpg We are going to pull together and help him build this thing. A lot of us will be donating our time, as well as some parts to the build up. If anyone else would like to donate some parts to help out, let me know. It would be greatly appreciated, by him and all other parties involved. I can put together a list of items that are needed. I am starting out by donating some sleeve bags, and valves. I do not want to accept cash, as I feel it could become complicated. I also intend to ask Mini Truckin' if they are interested in doing any kind of write up on this. If not, I will probably at least do a tech article on properly installing sleeve bags. Thanks, Seth Edit - Here is a parts list. I will update it if I think of anything else, as well as receive things.

Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
This sounds like a great cause. I hope all goes well for you and the young man getting the assistance.

Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
I may have a GM newer model paint to match grille at home if you'd be interested in that, been saving it for a good cause and this seems like one. I'll see if it's still there and post a pic if it is.

Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
I have a weld-in step notch that I won't be using. Let me know if you want it.

Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
I have an extra '86 grille if you need it - minus the gold bowtie

Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
Seth, I may have something for you. It's not anything you're looking for, but I'm sure that it will look nice in the truck.
Get back to you soon. |
Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
I updated the first post with some items that have been donated. I am very impressed at how much people are willing to give during these hard times. We have a few tracking numbers so far.

Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
That's a clean start for sure, nice wheel and color combo.
I'll talk to my V8 Blazer friend and see what he's still got laying around. |
Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
Yeah, I'm looking around for an Arc Audio amp foe the project. I don't have any bag parts or anything like that, so I'll stick to what I know.

Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
I should have those ES bumpstops & might have some used 2" dropped spindles. I'll check my storage stash & follow up.

Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
That would be great, thanks.
Poly Performance said they will donate a set of their red limiting straps. I think I will run red bushings for the suspension then. He said he wanted the truck to be silver with black bumpers, and red/black suspension parts. |
Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
I'm talking to a guy right now. Looks like he might give me a serious break on some stereo gear. (2 amps, component set, EQ)
Keep your fingers crossed yea? EDIT: I'm gonna run over to Woodland sometime next week and see if I can't strip what 4ga wire is left in the Escalade carcass I've got sitting my a warehouse. It won't be a whole lot, but it should be enough to make it into the cab comfortably. |
Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
I was thinking what I had was for a Chevy but it's a GMC. Here it is, If you want it and the emblem just let me know.

Re: S10 build up for kid with Epilepsy
I'll look tomorrow and see what all is different but I think it's pretty much a direct swap.
