Nice looking truck. No patina will be a new look I guess.

**joedoh** · 08-31-2015, 07:52 PM

still have lots of patina on the 47 and 49 (and rumor has it there is a 48 in my future!)

jason sent me pictures of his new wheels and tires.

I am not a wide white kind of guy but I would be lying if I said that didnt look good

**Palf70Step** · 08-31-2015, 08:08 PM

I'm gonna miss seeing this one. Looking forward to your next project, whaever year it mught end up being!

rusty76 · 08-31-2015, 08:09 PM

Tires look good stuffed into the rear wheel wells don't they.

**joedoh** · 08-31-2015, 08:38 PM

bill the 47 is almost done

and the 49 is "next" (just needs assembled, all the parts are here). I got a 91 s10 4.3 auto longbed in partial trade for the 65 so the 48 is likely going to be a FERD!

**joedoh** · 10-07-2015, 09:41 PM

fixed the hinge for jason, always meant to do it, never did. tried pins first but the lower was rusted and stuck, and broken.

so we ordered new hinges and popped them in. aside from getting the door aligned, this worked perfectly!

also, my friend big jim sent this today. guess I should go buy a couple

Congrats

lower50's · 10-08-2015, 08:41 AM

Congratulations on the mag spread. That's one of my dreams for mine.

dwcardfan · 10-08-2015, 09:48 PM

Mag spread

**joedoh** · 10-10-2015, 12:40 AM

thanks guys!

richards72chevy · 10-24-2015, 08:58 PM

Nice truck.It kind of shocked me when I read the truckin mag and seen it had a 4 banger in it.

**joedoh** · 10-25-2015, 02:22 AM

haha yeah that was one of my better ideas!

Jason sent me a picture, I guess his HOA did not feel the same about the patina as he did. problem solved.

the sheetmetal on that truck was in just great shape.

richards72chevy · 10-27-2015, 07:05 PM

Did you use the s10 windshield wiper system?

**joedoh** · 10-28-2015, 01:53 AM

yes and no. yes I considered how to make it work but never hooked it up. Jason (the new owner) called the other day and said he was going to try it, which means I will absolutely go help. just need to cut a flat on the shaft, take the original mounting cup off the inside firewall, and screw the s10 wiper motor down, then hook up the factory linkage and the s10 wiring plug. should work perfect.

richards72chevy · 10-30-2015, 06:42 PM

That would be good.I have always liked the wiper speeds on a newer vehicles.They make less noise too.I think it would be neat to apply what you did to a s10 4x4.

made2drag · 01-01-2017, 06:41 PM

WOW! And to think this build was about to be scraped in the beginning and ended up in a magazine! That has to be the coolest build on this site. 2.2 power and s10 frame... well done, stellar build!

ol_skool_chevy · 03-16-2017, 08:49 PM

i see you have a tilt bed....how did you tilt it with the bumper?....photos?

**joedoh** · 03-17-2017, 02:22 PM

the tilt frame runs from the bed floor to the bushings, which are mounted about the level of the bumper, so there was no way to attach the bumper without having it tilt too. the bumper is attached to the tilt frame then, and tilts with the bed. the bumper is so low, its just decoration anyway.

richards72chevy · 07-06-2022, 01:10 PM

Do you still have this truck?
