51' build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Titorod · 01-29-2013, 09:36 PM

Whats up guys. I'm evolving from my body dropped bagged 93 S-10 to a 51 beauty. I'm stripping sheetmetal off and having chassis extended 10" for the swap. Been reading alot of great posts! Just chimming in.

This is the donor S-10 with tricked out frame that'll be using for 51 build.

63 & 64 Bowties · 02-07-2013, 05:39 PM

I don't think I've ever seen a nicer "donor truck"
You sure you wanna do that?

Titorod · 02-07-2013, 06:01 PM

Well I was in the middle of the engine swap, and scored the 51 sheetmetal. I'm trying to keep the S-10 body for reassembly if the funds are available.

Titorod · 12-02-2015, 05:40 PM

Still working on her. Ended up going with front clip off S10 coupled to mandrel bent rails.

Titorod · 12-02-2015, 06:00 PM

Jonah Martinez is the fabricator on the build. One of 4-link with watts link as well.

Titorod · 12-02-2015, 06:21 PM

Sheetmetal mounted and off frame table.

big_moss · 12-02-2015, 05:51 PM

man that 3/4 frame is sickkkkk. ill follow along for sure.

Titorod · 12-02-2015, 06:23 PM

Thanks, it's been a setback. Worth it in the end.

**youngrodder** · 12-02-2015, 10:52 PM

Keep at it.

Marc

Titorod · 12-03-2015, 08:54 AM

Thanks Marc, hope to have it turnkey by beginning of next year.

**youngrodder** · 12-03-2015, 09:00 AM

What size rims and tires you running. The back ones look quite wide. That is a cool shot up on the lift.

Good luck on getting it running.

Marc

Thanks, I checked your page out as well, the 48 looks sick. Definitely the look I'm going for.

The 350 V-8 coming out of the S-10 is the one I'm using. Just finishing up motor mounts for it. I'll be working on radiator next, looks pretty close with S-10 front clip.

FarmerSid · 01-19-2016, 10:19 AM

Nice fab work. Thing of beauty

reaper71 · 01-19-2016, 10:45 AM

Bada$$ frame!!

Mark...

Coach529 · 01-19-2016, 10:56 AM

Looks great. Love that frame!!

ptc · 01-19-2016, 11:45 AM

Incredible fabrication skillzzzz here. Really like that four-link, now thats thinking "outside the box".

That watts linkage setup is massive!... (?) - Are you going to be doing any Australian Supercar Series racing with this '51???? 'cause that thing can probably handle 3G's in a corner!!!!!

Keep the pics coming.... very nice!

Titorod · 01-28-2016, 06:07 PM

Nothing crazy, we said. The build just kinda took over and next thing you know. Lol. Yeah the links were built by Jonah with the intension of making them a focal point. We're hoping to come up with a really cool cover we can lift to display the work.
