Re: My version of the s10 swap
Congrats. Very exciting time. I hope you figure out the fan and get your fenders soon. My truck gets stuff piled on it too but it's all my stuff.

Re: My version of the s10 swap
been in those shoes a couple times. great feeling. I too end up using the bed as storage! as for the efan, simple checks first. The fuse, believe it or not I'v had the fuse be the issue before. Then if that is ok, I'd take the ground trigger wire off your sending unit and ground it out. That is what makes the fan kick on. Easy way to check if your sending unit aka grounding unit is working. If you ground that wire out and its not working, could be a relay wiring issue. I'd check your fan power wire to make sure that gets power when you have your sending unit wire grounded. I do highly doubt your fan isn't working, but if you have power to that wire then it could be the case. also make sure you have enough fluid in the system as those sending units will not kick on if fluid isn't on them.

Re: My version of the s10 swap
Picked up some parts this weekend:
Looks much better, and much more like a truck! It's not as far along as it looks though, the fenders are on so I can finish up the mounting of the inner fenders and then pull them back out to finish and paint. Then they along with the rear fenders will get Raptor liner on the bottom of them, and then they will be ready to go back on for good. I also managed to get the rear window in and mirrors on.

Re: My version of the s10 swap
Beautiful looking truck.
I don't know if I missed it or over looked it, but how did you get the front to sit so low? Did you use drop spindles? Thanks, Sean |

Re: My version of the s10 swap
Good idea with the raptor liner and gravel guard. The light bracket looks good too.

Re: My version of the s10 swap
Looks good. I put rock guard in my fenders too. I like your tail light brackets.

Re: My version of the s10 swap
Nice work!
Hey Blue, when you were looking at tail lights, did you come across anything that had turn signals and backup lights but still looked vintage?

Re: My version of the s10 swap
Been working at it vs. being on the forum lately. Not much time left until the Power Tour......
Here's today. Many things are together for good now, just got the windshield in the second time (I don't think my LMC seal is as good as the one I got from Classic Enterprises), but that won't change in the near term. The Classic one had a larger lip that extended out on the body more and the lower outside corners fit better. Still have a pretty good list, but it's going through underwriting at Haggerty this week so I can get insurance and start to put some laps on it, hopefully by next weekend!

Re: My version of the s10 swap
Looking very good! Shop time vs forum internet time is a good trade off. Good luck making HRPT.

Re: My version of the s10 swap
It all looks really good, so fun when it is almost ready for the road. I agree with the windshield seals from LMC I have a gap on the lower outer corner. Good to hear there is an alternative.

Re: My version of the s10 swap
Licensed, insured, and now aligned!
I've got some more loose ends to tie up before I drive it too much more, but very motivated!
