Done it again sold my 50 but bought a super solid 49 that could pass as its twin. My plans are to leave this one the factory short bed length but still use the s10 frame. The truck is currently on the original frame with a sub frame of some kind. I already have a engine and trans that has almost 135,000 when I pulled it tonight now I just got to find an extra can frame to cut down.

Got a extra cab s10 today to cut down for the truck. I also have a swb s10 frame and another truck that's in my way. I will build me a driver then build another to trade on. Gonna be a busy winter here.
These two will go with the Tahoe drive train.
These two will go with a drive train from an extra cab Silverado

Black truck is a solid truck the green one is rough but I have another cab that's 10x better I'll use.

One at a time I've not got enough room to do both.

I can already see it. Building both, bringing one in, doing a few things and pushing it out. Bringing in the second, doing a few things. Next thing you know, two builds done about the same time frame.

Been sick so I haven't gotten much done. I finally went out and made the cab mounts so that's done. Hopefully I can get a little more done this weekend.

Uh, from the looks of those front tires I'd recommend an alignment before you drive it much!    ???

Yea I was thinking the same thing new tires wouldn't last long on it I'd say.
