OK, it's been quite a while since I've updated my build thread, but with good reason. I've had the truck driving for 3 weeks now. I finished it just in time to catch the last 2 days of GoodGuys Des Moines, here's proof:
I still have a LOT of things to do, but at least for now it's driveable. I'm chasing down a gremlin somewhere with my 4L60E that's keeping me from driving it more, but that'll come.
It runs and drives excellent. I ended up putting 2" drop spindles on the front and the rear is stock s10 suspension. I'm still running 235/75R15 tires which is bigger than most people run I think, but they were free so what can you do...
