Kodiaks 53 / S10 Build
Well here we go. i hope to successfully document my build here and maybe help someone along the way as I was helped and motivated by so many here.
I have a 53 I have had collecting dust for many years and finally got motivated by the build threads here. Plans are for a 1979 350 4bolt main that came out a truck my Dad bought back in 79 (Big 10). Followed up with a 700R out of a 91 Camaro. All of the TBI stuff also came from the Camaro. The bed wood came from my Grandpa's Barn so its oak. I purchased a AD Engineering kit and have been getting all my mounts in place on the S-10 frame. (standard cab long bed, 94 model) I have already installed the 4wd s-10 rearend. Right now I need to finish getting the front end sheet metal in place so I can locate my motor mounts. Here are some photos of the truck I started with: ![]() Cab mounts ![]() Front wheel looks to be centered ![]() ![]() The inner fenders help get the radiator set up in place and located, support brackets are on the outher side. ![]() Passenger side support bracket. ![]() and for now the running board support brackets. ![]() Now on to locating the engine mounts and stuff......................
