My Bagged V8 S10
 

Back in the 90's I had a squarebody s10. It was lowered with Trans Am wheels and low profiles with a static drop. I had always wanted to do more to it and really wanted to do a tilt bed. As time went by and life happened, I got married had a few kid's and got into Trans Am's and VW bugs. I'm now missing my S10 and decided to buy another one. This time a newer one.

I got this s10 pretty cheap due to it needing another motor. The motor threw a rod through the block. I decided to change it over to a 350 with a 400 trans since i have one already. Who wouldnt want a 350 in a s10?

Had a couple friends over to help pull the 2.2. It took an afternoon. No big deal.

Got the bed off to start figuring out the plan for the rear.

It had air shocks and monoleafs. Air valves to raise and lower it.

We were able to get alot done last weekend. We still need to work on getting the tilt bed to work. We have a plan. Maybe I'll have an update the weekend to share.

TILT BED finally... after all these years of wanting one!

There is a S10 Forum, we don't have a lot of action in it but your truck would be a good addition! I had a 327 in my 92 and replaced it with a 5.3 it takes a while to get used to the lack of traction.

Re: My Bagged V8 S10
 

Ok,that's a good idea. I'll ask an admin to move the thread. It bet that 5.3 was a blast!

Re: My Bagged V8 S10
 

It still is, I use my S10 as a DD and cruising truck. I get 20+ mpg's and can spin the 275's at will. The truck in my avatar is my wife's 64. I like what you've done and I'm looking forward to your build. Ray

Re: My Bagged V8 S10
 

Here is the only update I have at the time. I have been working on the engine and transmission and hope to have them set in the truck this coming week...

Re: My Bagged V8 S10
 

Do you know if your going to use shorties or long tube headers? I have a set of shorties that are wrapped I'd sell cheap. The steering shaft went between the tubes and fit pretty good.

Re: My Bagged V8 S10
 

Sweet dime man, doin the same thing to mine minus the tilt bed, although they are tits!!

Re: My Bagged V8 S10
 

Indian ... I plan on using shorties what do you call cheap I just got off vacation and Im kinda broke but hit me up with what you got...
I have some pics of the engine sitting in the truck I did last week I will try to get them up asap.

Ok here is the pic I promised.

Re: My Bagged V8 S10
 

Sorry I spoke up. I had a young man come down to look at my truck because he was building a V8 S10 and he took them home. I let him have them with the collectors for $50.00.

Re: My Bagged V8 S10
 

Any pix of how you did the hinge for the tilt bed? Might be changing my everchanging plans

Re: My Bagged V8 S10

Need updates :). On your progress man. I would like to see how it turned out.



I was doing the same thing with a 95 ext cab. However I want a 60 model c10 so the dime project has the brakes on.
