Fat Mike · 09-22-2009, 02:38 PM

Truck is looking excellent! I would like to know if you are using the original body mounts off the s-10? Have you considered using rack & pinion?

NONHOG · 09-22-2009, 03:31 PM

Nope nope nope don't like it somethings missing ? Oh rust and dents thats it.
Needs more rust and dents

JK Looking awesome keep up the good work!

eviltwin · 09-24-2009, 04:29 PM

kdog3121 · 01-09-2010, 10:35 PM

what's the latest and greatest on this one?

CAL 58 GMC · 01-10-2010, 02:51 AM

Very sweet ride!

texas56 · 01-11-2010, 06:13 PM

Sorry havent repsonded. thanks for the compliments. As far as the rust and dents I wish now lookin back on it I would have found a really clean surface rusted body and just slapped it on this chassis. We used thornbeck Bros A arms made for the S10. The stock ones work to, we were just trying to make it look better cosmetically. We have about 90 percent of the body work done and just about ready to start painting. We got the paint in a few days ago. It is going to be a burnt orange Hot Rod Flatz paint with some cool pin striping.

kdog3121 · 01-11-2010, 09:56 PM

cool that's gonna be sweet, love the flats colors!! upload some pics if you get the chance!

eventytoo · 01-14-2010, 10:35 AM

Ok thanks for the reply yea the stock ones do work nice also.

bjcaldwe · 01-24-2010, 01:01 AM

Do you have any pics of how you mounted your core support?

I really like what you did with the dash.

texas56 · 02-02-2010, 05:02 PM

Making a lil more progress. Hoping to wrap up body work, shoot sealer primer this week and sling some color this weekend.

we will see what happens.

texas56 · 02-02-2010, 05:04 PM

Chassis pic going together.

bjcaldwe · 02-02-2010, 05:38 PM

Coming right along. Can you snap a pic of your chassis from the front?

Fat Mike · 02-02-2010, 08:14 PM

Very nice truck. Wow!! I like the frame and the stance of the truck. You are very talented. Look forward to the rest of your build.

Kabwe · 02-02-2010, 08:34 PM

The truck looks great.

texas56 · 02-02-2010, 09:00 PM

Thx guys! We try and do as mjuch ourselves as we can. And have A LOT of help from family and freinds! I'm hoping paint comes out good. This is our first "flat" paint job. And if anyone wants to buy wheels and tires you can have them for what I paid. They are brand new! I wanna go with white walls and steelies!

texas56 · 02-08-2010, 11:21 AM

I got a few pics with my phone so they are kind of dark but Ill get some more when I get camera charged. Hope this helps. It really isnt anything fancy. Ill take some also as it is going together over the next few weeks so you can see how the front end and sheetmetal engine compartment goes together. That might help as well.
