Re: Lets get started
Looks like you got some work ahead of you! Is that a 60-66 I see in the background?

Re: Lets get started
Think I would use blocks (wood not cement) on that driveway rather than jack stands unless it is actually flat concrete. I've seen stands dig into asphalt too often and they don't work at all on dirt, gravel or clay.
Work safe, we want to see build threads not memorial threads.

Re: Lets get started

are you able to salvage any sellable parts from the wreck? got a list of stuff to keep in case you can use it on your truck? |

Re: Lets get started
Look at all of those glorious, rusty, dirty, beautiful parts.
If I could go back and do it again, I would found a truck with everything, intact or in boxes. Searching junk yards/eBay/CL is so much more fun than building...

Re: Lets get started
Dang that S10 route is a lot of extra work when you consider finding/buying/hauling/storing/disassembling and disposing of that whole extra vehicle. You've gotta unbuild two trucks to build one truck. Then ya gotta make body mounts, bed mounts, running board mounts, tunnel the floor, etc etc. Good argument for a Mustang II build. At least when I did an S10 frame swap I bought an already stripped chassis; that saved me lots of work and junk around the house aggravating neighbors - and wife.

Re: Lets get started
You seem to have forgot that he now has s10 parts to sell or scrap ,probably netting him a free s10 frame and a little extra jingle in his shorts .
