One mixed up 51'

Hey there,
I've been debating starting a thread on here for a wile. Mostly because I wanted to have a bit more done and together but I'm about to start working on it again so hopefully I'll be able to post updates in the near future.

First off this started as a LS s10 build then after a chat with the misses jumped to this mash up of everything.

I started with a 91' reg cab short box s10

I picked it up with a blown head gasket for $300! A total steel as it was literally rust free!
My brother and I rebuilt the top end and I sold the drive train.
Once the plans changed and the older truck was in the works I sold everything off the dime and picked up my new body for $850


The original plan for the s10 was to make a fun autocross themed truck, so I ended up picking up an 88 toyota supra independent rear suspension.

These rears are proven to take good power and come with an lsd, also is 61" wide so perfect for the truck width.

The plan for the truck is still the same so the plan now is to mold a c4 front suspension in to get the front wider. Currently this is how it all looks



Once I'm back on it I will be stripping the frame down all the way and mounting the cab and body to get the rearend lined up.

For the drive train I have a LQ4 6.0l and am saving for a t56.
In the end this will be quite a mix of vehicals and I hope mesh well lol.
Wish me luck and feel free to advise as a lot of what I'm doing will be learn as I go, witch means time consuming.
