Re: Daverods 52

Cut out some more cancer. I should have been a doctor. Welded in one patch. Did get a auto darkening helmet, what a difference. Should have done that long ago. Maybe one of days I'll get some gas. Back was sore from boarding did'nt get much done. I should get the rest done by this weekend. Got a cab corner coming. Checked out some 4.3's. Don't know if I really need a posi or not. Thinking a zr2 but the posi one is 600 non posi 325.

Re: Daverods 52

Auto darkening helmets are the bomb. I like the adjustable lens feature also. Wish it was available in magnifying style for us old dogs.

I was having a heck of a time seeing while welding in the cold last week, Until I realized my breath was fogging up the lens when I dropped the hood.

Re: Daverods 52

When I first got my truck I thought it had rust issues but after seeing what some of you guys have to replace I realised mine wasn't bad at all, I love the dent puller.

Re: Daverods 52

So much for not cutting my new s10 frame. Bagging the rear, putting on a 2 link with some notches.

Re: Daverods 52

I want to see your s10 frame set up. So I know what to do to mine when I get to it. Heck you will probably have all 3 of your trucks done before my dime gets bagged.

Re: Daverods 52

That's how I'm thinking of building my lower bars. Except it will be a adjustable rodend on the axle. I already built my notch for it. And I'm using a offset wishbone that I'm gonna build.

Re: Daverods 52

It's see though alright. Got me a gas hook up for my welder coming and a bottle. Think I'll be doing a lot of welding on my frame. Ordered a new bed front and 2 rear stake pockets. Took the bed apart. Finished the floors. Need some new bed strips,I'm thinking SS. Need some bed angle pieces that go along the bedside. Not sure how the old ones are going to come off. Still waiting on my frame. Priced a ZR2 posi in IF for 500. They wanted 650 here. Still not sure about the engine most likley 350/350. Seems the easest.

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

Re: Daverods 52

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.

Re: Daverods 52

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.

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

Re: Daverods 52

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.

Re: Daverods 52

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

Re: Daverods 52

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.
