Thanks Eric, finally went and got the exhaust put on the other day. Now to get the hood on and get the bugs out. May end up taking it to a tuner

That truck has "all" the right stuff...makes my heart beat a bit faster.

Bennett68C10 · 08-13-2014, 03:32 PM

Looks awesome Wade

Bennett68C10 · 11-20-2014, 11:50 PM

Wade, how did the 4L80E fit, did you have to modify the floor besides just changing to a high hump? How much room do you have from the transmission to the floor? Also, what headers are you running?

rwade · 11-21-2014, 12:51 AM

Hey Keith,

Only thing I did was change to the high hump, no other mods. If I remember correctly I had about 1-1.5" clearance. I did trim the big "ears" off both sides of the 4L80. I'm running Sanderson ceramic headers, I don't remember the number (there kind of a short header). I can try to find the number if you need.

BTW: keep working on that body work, it's coming together.

Thanks, your running the mild front dropmember correct? I'm running the touring front which sits an inch higher in the framerail. I'm just trying to figure out how much room I will have, I really don't want to modify the floor at this point. If you could find the part number of the headers for me I would appreciate it.

Keith - putting in the high hump is only about an hours worth of work. You will save yourself a lot of headaches later, if you do it now. JMHO. Take care,

Rob I already have the high hump installed, I'm trying to figure out if I would have to modify the floor even more to fit the 4L80E. I know you have to on the extreme front dropmember but I'm running the Touring in the front.

Nohassle5 · 11-21-2014, 12:34 PM

Beautiful Ride Wade!

**GAc10boy** · 11-21-2014, 02:01 PM

Such a clean truck! Very tasteful.

rwade · 11-21-2014, 10:55 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys. Appreciate it.

Keith, yes I'm running the mild dropmember with the "touring" upper hats. I really doubt you'd have any more mods to do on the floor, the hump should be plenty. I should be able to get the number for headers tomorrow.

Wade

Bennett68C10 · 11-22-2014, 11:07 AM

Thanks Wade, I appreciate it.

rwade · 11-22-2014, 07:40 PM

Keith, they are CSLS1 Sanderson headers made for swapping an LS into a 2wd S-10. $325 ceramic coated. Let me know if u need anything else.

Wade

kvn1011 · 10-15-2015, 07:34 PM

love this truck!!

rincones · 10-16-2015, 12:16 AM

I agree. Super clean Cheyenne.

gringoloco · 07-15-2016, 08:52 PM

So, what are the new suspension plans?

Grandpas 72 · 11-02-2017, 03:35 PM

I will admit that I am not a big wheel kind of guy (probably because I'm old lol &#128514

but after seeing what you have accomplished I think I could be persuaded to change my mind. 😁 That is one good looking truck. Awesome job 👍

rwade · 11-02-2017, 07:44 PM

Thank you very much. It's been a work in progress for sure

Wade

rwade · 11-02-2017, 07:47 PM

Finally got the wheels back on and off jack stands soon. Still a lot of details to go, but one day at a time.
