My rims are 20 x 10 with a BS of 4". I should have explained that it was the outside edge of the tire that would have hit the edge of the fender. It my be the 3/4" that made a difference.

Here is a pic.

I also have a 4 link so I'm not concerned as I don't have any side to side movement.

Marc,

What gas tank did you go with?

xpickup · 02-01-2012, 04:14 PM

rollinrooster, your frame is looking great. Keep up the great work.

Rooster-

I don't recall. My frame uses a modified G-body frame and I looked through catalogs to find something from a G-body that had the correct filler location. I had to cut the filler neck down. Mine fills from behind the license plate. I also sent the tank out Rockvalley and had a fuel pump retrofitted inside it. This is because I'm running an LT1.

Thanks
Marc

Looks very nice. Straight as an arrow......

Looking great!

What paint did you use on the chassis and components?

I guess you'll have to rasie the front and drop the rear to drain your tank? Build is coming along nice.

You know, i didnt even think about the drain on the tanks when i mounted them, just thought they looked cool there and gave me lots of room for exhaust.

Thanks for pointing that out i will fix that little problem.

daverod · 02-16-2012, 08:02 PM

I'll bet you could get it level just by messing with the air in your bags. Or you could do some welding and grinding and stuff and stuff. Your right it does look cool.

sleepertruck72 · 02-19-2012, 03:21 AM

Rollinrooster , you have some serious skills my man

This is an awesome build !!! Im curious as to the throttle and brake pedals and how they end up. I will patiently wait to see I guess

Again, Awesome job

Rollinrooster,
Very nice and accurate install on those brake lines. They couldn't be mistaken for a novice install, that's for sure. Keep up the excellent work! Fab1

You know, that was my first time ever doing brake lines. A very good friend of mine ownes a hotrod shop (PrecisionRod and Custom). He let me borrow some brake line tools and gave me some advice to get started with. Youre not to far away in Kingsport, and are welcome to stop by anytime just pm me.

Rollinrooster;
I just went through brakes in my class, part of it the students had to make brake lines. I had them do mine I only wish they had turned out as good as yours, you get and At in my book, excellent job.

Super sharp truck!!! If you would like to do some more brake lines I am about 30 miles away and I will bring it to you in a heartbeat. My method seems to be a big hammer and low IQ!

Thanks alot, this is my first time doing a frame swap. As for the throttle / brakes im going to use lokar lakester gas and brake pedals and a scottshotrods 90 degree under dash brake set up.

daverod · 02-24-2012, 11:58 AM

Very nice.

Did you see how the bottom of mine mounted? Kinda of a u shaped thing that the shock stud mounts into. Made it alittle easier to get in the right spot. Had to move mine a few times. I got them to fit without wheels spacers but I think I will buy some spacers anyways. Kinda depends on what wheels I get.

Yep, i looked at the way you set yours up and then decided to start on mine. I have spacers on the front of mine, so i have good clearance on everything. I'm still trying to figure out how i want the top mount to be.

daverod · 02-26-2012, 12:52 PM

Are the spacers 1". Where did you buy them? I think I'll get some.

the spacers are 1.5". I found them on ebay.

Chevette · 02-26-2012, 01:09 PM

Absolutely beautiful. Kudos on the super clean details. I've seen a lot of AD's on S10's and yours is one of the best I've ever seen. When viewed from the side the wheel base is perfect for the fender openings (rare on an AD/S10). Also, the wheels suit it perfect. Love it.

Thanks alot, this is my first time doing a frame swap. Thanks again for the kind words.

Are you running your air lines down the inside of your frame from your front?
