51' build

Whats up guys. I'm evolving from my body dropped bagged 93 S-10 to a 51 beauty. I'm stripping sheetmetal off and having chassis extended 10" for the swap. Been reading alot of great posts! Just chimming in.

This is the donor S-10 with tricked out frame that'll be using for 51 build.

Re: 51' build

I don't think I've ever seen a nicer "donor truck"
You sure you wanna do that?

Re: 51' build

Well I was in the middle of the engine swap, and scored the 51 sheetmetal. I'm trying to keep the S-10 body for reassembly if the funds are available.

Still working on her. Ended up going with front clip off S10 coupled to mandrel bent rails.

Re: 51' build

What size rims and tires you running. The back ones look quite wide. That is a cool shot up on the lift.

Good luck on getting it running.

The rims are 22 X 8, and 22 X 12. Had to use 1 1/2" spacers up front, and 1" in rear.

Re: 51' build

Incredible fabrication skillzzzz here. Really like that four-link, now thats thinking "outside the box".

That watts linkage setup is massive!... (?) - Are you going to be doing any Australian Supercar Series racing with this '51???? 'cause that thing can probably handle 3G's in a corner!!!!!


Keep the pics coming.... very nice!

The 350 V-8 coming out of the S-10 is the one I'm using. Just finishing up motor mounts for it. I'll be working on radiator next, looks pretty close with S-10 front clip.
