Hello all

Slow progress on my build in the moment. A lot of work to do with the garden and around the house with winter coming.
I used the original front mounts for the fenders and the front part. I build some brackets and bolted them to the old radiator frame. With the front bolted to the cab and using the s10 rubber mounts I welded the s10 holder to the frame and everything is quiet strong.



The next step was the radiator. I build a frame that is bolted on the bottom to the s10 frame and on the top to the to original GMC radiator frame. I am not perfectly happy with it but for the first try it is ok. I hope the radiator is not too small for the engine. I am using an extra transmission oil cooler which is bolted in front of the water radiator.




The one is the parking brake. I am using the original pedal on the left side of the cab. It is the same assembly like the one from the s10 but I had one problem. The cable on the right side hits the exhaust pipe and the driveshaft. I am running the cable above them. For this I cut out the holder from the frame and replaced on top of the frame rail. Works.


I take some time and did some wiring work. Tried to take out the one which are not used like ABS and all these things. As far as I want to have possibility to take off the front clip with out a lot of work I decided to use some connectors on the left and right side where the fenders hit the firewall. A lot of work. The original hole in the firewall for the heating regulator is perfect for the wires which run from the engine to the ECU.



So long Arnd
