Ok. How difficult was the sheet metal fitting? Do you have a link or short description of the core support fab?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

I have pics a few pages back. Just kinda made it anyway I could get it to fit. Was able to fit a radiator thats 22x19. Im about to start another one when I can find a frame.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Made a quick photoshop with the wheels. Can't wait for them to get here this week.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Siiiiiiiiiiick. Looks so nice and clean!

Is it weird that I am seriously looking forward to you posting up with the new wheels and tires on?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Hey, cant be more excited than me! Should get them back from powdercoating tommorrow hopefully.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

picked up 2 long bed s10s today! Got 2 98 long bed s10s that used to be cooks pest control trucks. Guess I can start a new chapter to the thread for the new ones haha. The 49 is first. Got a 5.3 and trans for it already too.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

That looks really really nice and clean!!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Under hood looks awesome! Apologies if mentioned before, what is it sprayed with?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Thanks guys, it is sprayed with stuff called raptor liner. Very nice stuff. I sprayed the underside of the cab and firewall with it too.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Got the wheels back from coating today, and the tires on. The rear rims are a little too wide. Gonna have to swap my rear end with a 2wd to get the back wheels on. But got a pic of the fronts on!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Looks sooooo good!
Some questions, since I might be getting the same sizes:
Did you have spacers on the rear? Or just a 4x4 rear end?
What BS did you end up going with? If you had known they would end up too wide, would you have gone with a different BS? Or would you have gone with a 10" for the rear? Did you have the room in the rear fender to use the 11"?
I am planning on running aftermarket inner fenders- I'm wondering if I will run into issues at full drop- how close are yours to the inner fender?
I am anxious to hear how it rides on the 20s with those thin tires. Do you have concerns about bending the wheels since they are all steel?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

The rear end is a 4x4 with no spacers. Gotta swap a 2wd rear end in to make them fit. The rear rims are 20x11 with 4.5 back space. They should fit perfect with a 2wd rear. The front is 20x9 with 4.5 backspace. They fit perfect. I had to get a small tire to lay out with 20s. I have been using tires this small for a long time. Never bent a rim yet! Maybe ive been lucky.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

That's cool- I may go with a slightly larger tire if I have the room since I dont want to lay on the ground- just above it(In case I blow an airline)

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

That looks so good with the rims.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Looks so awesome! This truck keeps getting better and better. How long did it take to get them? Thinking about pulling the trigger and doing 20x9 on all fours. Do you think the 20x9 with the 4.5 backspace will work on the rear with no tubs? I have an explorer rear end.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Thanks guys! 20x9 with 4.5 would worl on mine with the 4x4 rear. I dont know the specs of a 8.8 rear tho. They took about 2 weeks to get after ordering. But that was raw metal wheels

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Perfect, thanks for the info! Cant wait to see it with all of them on :metal:

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Me either, hope to have that happen this weekend.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Rims are awesome! Like to have that style on my build. Like a little more side wall though

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Looking forward to seeing all 4 on the truck

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

those look crazy on there!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Got the 2wd rear end in. Fit perfect! http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a82...06_210112.jpeg

Looks great. You don't mess around.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

I like a lot. Is that a picture of license plates or real license plates?

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Thanks guys, and those are all real plates.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Man that thing looks great!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

What tire size? Looks soooo good.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

I kinda like the fog lights.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

I like them.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Personally like it more without them. Thanks for the tire sizes. Going to do 20x9 square here soon.

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Wheels and tires look good. I like the fog light!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

I saw that you posted that you used a decline fuel pump, is it a stick fuel pump or a high pressure one? Also do you remember where you bought it from thanks!
Posted via Mobile Device

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

Love the truck! Any pictures of the headliner finished? Those inner fenders look kickass!

Re: You guessed it, 1950 s10 swap.
 

The fuel pump is a 255 walboro if i remember right. Went right in the sending unit of the s10. The headliner still looks like it did on the other pics. Thanks for all the comments guys!
