Kenny has been coming in and buying some Afco, Howe, and Speedway parts from us in the last few months. I thought he was building an IMCA Mod, but I guessed wrong. His short bed, std cab is a budget build screamer. Worked over front suspension, read this, build a metric mod front on an S-10, add a big sway bar, and the rear is really simple too. He kept the leafs, added a spring slider to mount the housing (speedway dirt track parts), and added a torque arm. The 4.3 is mildly worked, still EFI, and a 5-speed. Kenny tells us he's at the $3k mark now, and it's a dayly driver. He ran many laps in the 49 sec mark, right along side the JT. Note the S-10 has sticky Falken rubber, 255/45/17 all around. Next he says is a cage, rear sway bar, and adjustable shocks. I'm really sorry I didn't get any picts or video, but we will in the future. He says he'll be at our track day on march 29th. Anyway, a fun and surprising night. It was col to see this home built, well thought out, p/u running good, maybe we can help him get into the Truckin' Throwdown III

I'd had a few dreams of almost the same formula, just with coilovers and a pair of trailing arms in the rear to go with the torque arm...tell me, did it look like he'd widened or flared at least the front fenders?

I figured if I ever had the chance to really go that route I'd find some of those flared fiberglass fenders for off-road S-10s...the IMCA Metric Mod is based on G-body geometry which is almost identical to the S-10 (parts will bolt on) but a little wider and this idea stayed in the dreaming stage so I don't know by how much.
