If you had a fender to match my truck without the cutout we could trade all day long!! I would pay shipping both ways!!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC

I took it for its maiden voyage yesterday... Put probably 2 lies on it! Felt great... No plate and No insurance yet so I figured I better not take any chances! Waiting for the weather to break!

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC

I guess its a good thing I just renewed my subscription to that magazine a few days ago. I'll keep my eyes pealed for the mailman.

Seriously though, Congratulations. Its always been a dream of mine to get a project featured in a magazine and its great to see a fellow forum member getting honored for his/her hard work.

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC

Hey C10.... Just updating myself w/the latest build info. I'm digging the bumpers & interior touches! Congrats on the mag spread as well.

A couple of quick questions (pardon my ignorance as I'm 'schooling-up' on the subject to help a buddy).... Did any changes have to be made to the S10 chassis other than the mounts? Is the wheel base spot on if a reg-cab lwb or ex-cab swb chassis is utilized? Motor in the OE location w/OE mounts?

Any other particulars to share about the swap?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Damn man! Sorry to leave you hangin! I haven't gotten any email updates! I used a reg cab long bed... Its darn close.. I might move the rear wheels forward an inch cause at ride height they are back a little... Motor was not moved though it could go back about a foot! I just didn't want to go through the hassle, motor mounts, trans mount and shortening the driveshaft etc etc... I was lazy and cheap! Just got insurance and plates! Time to see what she's made of! hows your ride (S) coming?

Re: Project "Poison Ivy" 54 GMC

So my good friend John Jackson from NotStock Photography spent about a month hitting some shows with us and hanging out at the shop... We took the truck out for 20 min one night before a big storm rolled in and snapped a few pics.. Whatcha Y'all think?
