How about some pics of your S10 conversion @ ride height - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1950 GMC · 12-18-2009, 04:26 AM

For those of you who have completed your finished ride height on your S-10 conversion can you please post some pics of your trucks at ride height? If you can also include any chassis mods, rim & tire sizes, and the height the body sits from the frame it would be greatly appreciated.

bjcaldwe · 12-18-2009, 01:47 PM

I'll go down to the shop tonight and make sure, and take some pictures.

1952ssr · 12-23-2009, 10:47 AM

I didn't get to the shop last night, was shopping for last minute gifts. Within the next few days off I'll get some pictures and measurements. I'll get back with everyone next week, I don't have the net at home.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

nickp51chevy · 12-24-2009, 03:02 AM

Heres mine. Nothing fancy done to it. It's stock ride hight for the s10. I think the back of the front fender is about 6" off the ground.

1950 GMC · 12-24-2009, 03:11 AM

Thanks for sharing everyone. Nickp51chevy how far off the frame does your body sit?

1950 GMC · 12-24-2009, 03:18 AM

Nickp51chevy, I just read your build thread 3 1/2" thanks.

1952ssr · 12-28-2009, 10:26 AM

Well got in 10 hours of work on the '51 Saturday. Here are some pictures to get a better idea where my cab sits. About 5-5 1/2 inches off between frame and floor pan in the battery mounting hole. Notice in the second, hard to see it but there is a 3/4 piece of square tubing between the top body mount cup and original cab channel. Those brackets were made using the left over frame cut from the back and a s10 body mount bracket.

1952ssr · 12-28-2009, 10:30 AM

Others: second is from bottom of back of cab to frame about 3 1/2

Dan Bowles · 12-30-2009, 04:13 PM

Not a great pic and wheels have changed but:

Stock S10 suspension with 3" blocks in the rear. 2" spacers all the way around, S10 4x4 rear end. Body sits about 5" off the frame (4" blocks and 1" stock S10 body mount). Rear cab mounts are stock '54 shackle mounts. 327/NV3500 5 speed.

About 8-9" to the running board bottom.

FiftyTwo · 12-30-2009, 11:08 PM

My '52 is mounted 5" off the frame, S10 Xtreme (ZQ8) stock factory lowered front and rear suspension, '79 Camaro rear end, 15x8 Corvette rally wheels, 245/60/15 tires with 1.5" spacers in front, 350 crate motor with 700R4 trans.

ruffrida2005 · 12-30-2009, 11:34 PM

trucks look good guys

**LEEVON** · 12-31-2009, 12:01 AM

Way to keep this thread going! I've got to have one of these trucks!

nickp51chevy · 12-31-2009, 02:06 AM

FiftyTwo, Nice! Your truck is awesome looking. I was going to do the same thing with my gas filler neck also, but I didn't want to chance screwing up my bed side so I didn't. Instead I put a wood box in the back of the bed. Check it out in post number 16.

LEEVON, you don't want one of these truck.

J/K

I think that we should try to save them all.

1950 GMC · 12-31-2009, 12:29 PM

Fiftytwo, do you by chance know how many inches it is lowered in the front and rear? The truck looks amazing thanks for sharing.

FiftyTwo · 12-31-2009, 02:40 PM

I believe an S10 Xtreme's suspension is approxmately 1.5" to 2.0" lower than a stock S10.

bjcaldwe · 12-31-2009, 10:28 PM

I think my friend said it has a bigger sway bar and a 1.5in drop spring on the front. Or at least his extreme blazer did.
