yeah 4x4 s-10 is good. Mine has a 3.42 I think, I have all the ratio codes, if you need it.

I used 1.5 aluminum spacers, makes it tuck a little still and looks really good. Is just enough to clear the beds.

bjcaldwe · 04-25-2010, 11:42 AM

99.. what size are you using? I was thinking 15x10 but may go narrower if I can get some really cheap.

Dan Bowles · 04-25-2010, 01:45 PM

Back to the rats, I've been catching them in the trap and shooting them. Last night we must have caught one in the live trap and it had all night to gnaw on the wire until it actually broke through and out. Amazing how strong them little chompers are. I'll patch it and catch him again!! I see a .22 in his future...

Keep up the good work on the truck. I know the feeling of no time, budget, or room!

And we ran an S10 4x4 rear with 2" spacers. The wider tires are close to the be sides! We are running L78-15s. I think the rims were 8".

bjcaldwe · 04-25-2010, 01:48 PM

LOL... if I had found a live one in the truck, I would have had to stencil one on the side.

The frame that is in my garage is my original frame with an s10 clip. It should be leaving in the near future. Once I get my suspension for the complete gmc gathered up and put on where it will roll, I hope to get it moved the 80 or so miles up here to my house so I can tinker on it in the evenings. Then, if I go down to visit my folks I can work on dads 52 sedan. Seems like a good plan in my head anyways lol.

Dan Bowles · 04-25-2010, 01:50 PM

Have you looked at Scott Danforth's suspension kit? Not sure what your goal is.

bjcaldwe · 04-25-2010, 02:03 PM

I am just going to do mustangII. We have it on my dads car and like how it went together. The end game is one day laying running boards.

99 to Life · 04-26-2010, 12:30 AM

We'll actually right now I am running 14's. I have always wanted 15's for this. But I really had a specific steel wheel in mind, so I can run smoothies. But finding them used is almost impossible atleast on craigslist. I have come across some all chrome ones, but I don't want those at this point. So what I am doing is running the 14's at first, keeping the black rim and just doing white walls.

I think 15x10's are pretty wide, is that all you have right now or something?
I was thinking more like 7's.

anyway, the spacers will help.

bjcaldwe · 04-26-2010, 09:57 AM

The 15x10 was day dreaming. In hind site my dad wished he had put a narrowed rearend in his 52 sedan and some wider wheels and tires. So, we was hoping to kinda make up for it on my truck lol.

joe231 · 04-26-2010, 07:31 PM

Keep dreaming brother!!
It is all possible!
Hollar if you need help hauling the new truck up to the city.

bjcaldwe · 04-26-2010, 07:33 PM

Thanks Joe. Likewise if you need some help on yours. Before it can move it has to have suspension. lol. So, one piece at a time.

scotts62 · 04-26-2010, 08:02 PM

Ill lend a hand also if you need help

bjcaldwe · 04-26-2010, 08:06 PM

Thanks Scott.

*TheSebring* · 04-26-2010, 11:13 PM

I don't have as much knowledge as these fellers, but I'm a brute. So if you need any grunt work or something held up into place, give me a call, lol.

kulturekat · 04-26-2010, 11:22 PM

scotts62 · 04-27-2010, 07:40 AM

bjcaldwe · 04-27-2010, 10:09 AM
