I found myself with a nice s10 body and a 3/4 ton chev running gear. I start on it this weekend. I'll post the link to the project pic's as soon as the wife has time. This will be a poorboy build up. So far the specs are 110" wheel base, d44 with a future locker, 14bolt w/lincoln locker ;D, 350/350/np203 or 5 depending on what seems best at the time and a 10 pt cage from jegs to be added asap. I would like to thank everybody for the advice. All advice gathered was from poorboys or the mag's community.webshots.com/album/475760788UjrLQZI think that worked

It looks like I got stroked out of my tires And my brothers blazer is still parked in the way dead. I did finish cutting the fenders and one is rolled and ready for bondo. The s10 cab is on the frame now, kinda anyway. I think by friday the other fender will be ready for bondo too. I found 43.5" tractor tires for $160 each new and might go that way. I spent my cage money on a camera tonight made the wife happy.

she's happy and sick today. I put the new pics of the cab on the frame. Still need to build the body mounts and slide the cab forward to the right spot but it gives an idea of how she should look. I might have went overboard on the fenders

I guess that means the front and rear end are going to stay in my driveway for the winter huh? Are you trugging the ranger too? I seen you were parting it out.

No I got a bad ass body for the ranger so it will be mostly street legal. And I'll get the axles so I can work on them and have them ready for next season.
