ok 54 jimmy im glad to see that people are interested in this build, im putting the truck completely together then im going to take it back apart and make a step by step guide. ive been working alot of hours at work. to start with i set the cap 2" above the s-10 frame with 2" tubing, i did ron into a probelm with mounting the bed. i welded 1 1/2" tubing (instead of the 2" factor bed supports). here are some pics. let know what you all thank about this build. oh by the way this truck has the mid-size bed and an EXTENDED cab is 1" short on the wheelbase but i made that up with distance between the cab and the bed.

gr8one · 01-02-2008, 02:52 PM

im going to lower the rear fenders to match upto the running boards. the cab fit really good but like i said the bed was trick. here is a before pic of the s-10 i also have 3 other builds going on. i the last pic if look you can see the red 2" tubing that the body mounts to the frame.

almost forgot about the rearend. I removed the s-10 rearend and bought a mid 70's camaro rearend for $100.00 at local junk yard. ok here is the part your not going to beleave i used the s-10 backing plates and brakes on the camaro rearend. the factory brakes from the s-10 bolted up with no modifcation, just bolted right up.

gr8one,
When you lift the cab and dog house, how much stress is on the front fenders at the cowl, does it not bend with all that weight, how do you have the fenders supported?

gr8one · 01-06-2008, 11:50 AM

solidaxel,
i bolted the fender without the inter fenders no damage to any of it, you are lift the cab there is nothing on the doghouse. i used the doghouse to line up the front tires.
