Re: My version of the s10 swap

It wasn't without issue though. On Friday morning, on the route in Indiana about a mile from the Ohio border we were in a low spot next to a grove of trees. A deer popped out of the trees in front of us and we got him. We had to do a field repair at the venue that day and wedge a rag behind the headlight bucket to get the new light to point at least somewhat forward instead of down (Thanks for the help Tim!). It doesn't photograph well, but the bottom of the headlight bucket is pushed back about 2", the top of the grill leans back, and the wheel well is puckered out. Hood escaped damage except for paint rubbing with the now tight gaps. Could have been worse, I was still able to drive it home.
