I got busted for having jumper cables hanging from my mirror once.

The rubber straps are part of his weight loss program.

You know that's the closet where he keeps his blow up dolls; right.

Good s10 step by step build.http://www.killbillet.com/showthread.php?t=16296&page=2

Picked up my frame and got it in its new home. Don't know if it has 2.8l engine mounts or not. Need to know so I can order some new engine mounts. Started cleaning all the crap off the frame. Put up some more wall art.

Thadious · 03-15-2011, 10:14 PM

Yup, those are the 2.8's... using them myself... you may want new ones just due to the fact that they may be old and cracked... and new ones are pretty cheap.

Ted.

daverod · 03-15-2011, 10:18 PM

Cool now I know. Does the 4.3 use the same?

Thadious · 03-16-2011, 12:17 AM

The 4.3 (91) I started with had different ones and the 5.7 (88) were different yet again. The 2.8's were the lowest profile for the price and hence the appeal. I believe you can get a different setup with Energy Suspension and weld them up different. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...55586&cmpid=cj

Think Jeffs51chevy used the ES set in his build.

Cheers,
Ted.

The 4.3 factory mounts are junk and separate easily, the 2.8 are a better design.

daverod · 03-17-2011, 12:08 AM

Front end exploded.

Those s10 springs have alittle more bang in them then the cut 66 ones.

Strodder · 03-19-2011, 07:39 PM

Sooooooooo what's the story????

daverod · 03-19-2011, 09:26 PM

Story is: A bunch of rich potato farmers spent a bunch of their money and a 15 year old kid put a vortec in his old chevy truck.

Then I finished striping my frame and sprayed in down with degreaser, bought some ball joints and calibers put my A arms in my parts washer and then watched UFC. Then I went on Craigs and looked for a S10 with a 4.3 for cheap.

bubba327 · 03-19-2011, 11:07 PM

I am assuming you went to the Chrome in the Dome show????

Thanks for the pictures.
Didja take your 64?????

I take it every day.

Except when its wet out. I did'nt take it but there a lot of nice trucks in the parking lot.

bubba327 · 03-19-2011, 11:20 PM

So when it is wet out , you take your wife's car??????
I always cruise the parking lots too at a show. The true drivers are out in the parking lot.

daverod · 03-19-2011, 11:27 PM

I've got an old Olds cutlass. Good work car, huge trunk, good on gas, dog like it cause it's nice and soft. It likes to get wet.

Better show then last year. Had some nice rides. That red truck in the first pic was way cool. Two trucks welded together. Duals in the back,with some super fat lips

There was a 54-55 GMC Suburban in the parking lot when I got there but I didn't get a chance to look at it because it was snowing, I was hopeing it would be there when I left but it wasn't. Dammit!

daverod · 03-20-2011, 11:21 AM

I could'nt wait till Saterday I went friday

Drove past on Saterday there was a million people.

I did get my frame clean though.

Post up some pics.

daverod · 03-20-2011, 10:09 PM

Wacked off my front end. Boxed it in.

Strodder · 03-20-2011, 10:21 PM

Nice whack off job, now get back to working on the truck.

ruffrida2005 · 03-19-2011, 11:37 PM

Yeah get that 4.3 and send it down here to me. Then get you a gf from one of those potato farmers, and have them get you a 6.0 to put in the 52!

Have you seen a potato farmer daughter.

Good idea though. I'll run it by the wife.

bubba327 · 03-19-2011, 11:37 PM

Oh !! I did not know about the cutlass.. We call the contractors that work out of a car --"trunkers" They carry a few tools around and then they borrow ladders from everyone else

daverod · 03-19-2011, 11:44 PM

I have a little gaint ladder it fits in my truck. I can carry about 15 2x4x8's inside the car.

OK I'm a trunker.

bubba327 · 03-20-2011, 11:04 PM

Your welding has improved over the last two years!!! Your whack off job looks great!!

daverod · 03-20-2011, 11:12 PM

It's the helmet.

I should get my gas set this week. That should help also.

Going to get some metal and fab up some cab mounts this week. Still can make up my mind on a engine.

Strodder · 03-20-2011, 11:23 PM

The helmet make a big difference. You have to see what your doing.
