I can overlook the GM content because such fabrication skill deserves recognition.

Changing plugs will be the job of the passenger. This truck should be fast and have traction problems. Greg |

Reed, Lou, Greg, Thanks for following along. Now that the cab can be dropped in place things are getting more complicated. |

Starting to rebuild the tunnel. Using as much of the material that was removed as I can to simplify the fabrication.

It sure beats trying to shape and join a bunch of flat little pieces of sheet metal.

The expensive tubular K-member I bought early on turned out to suck up way too much ground clearance. So, I chopped the offending chromoly stuff out And built my own  Much better

The chassis is getting close to being ready for the real motor to go in. I originally had a 6 quart truck oil pan on it but the pan hangs down too low. I decided I'd chop up a couple of car oil pans I have to make one high capacity oil pan. The way I have engine placement in the S10 frame there is nothing under the engine so why not use that space to increase the oil capacity?   I suspect it's going to hold 12 quarts or so now. Overkill?

Thanks Lou,Lou I've been getting a lot of sheet metal welding practice lately. I'm still not good at it but I managed to avoid making a big mess! |
