Got a different rear end so its still dirty, found a V6 blazer rear, its a little tougher and wider so can run some wide meat and not rub the frame. Also got my air pump,bat box and air valves in.

Ok I hit a dilemma,My radiator was just to close to the pulleys and stuck up way to tall because of the gearbox to suit me. I'm still thinking of "pancaking" the hood.So to solve this I mounted the radiator in at a angle, this let it drop and give me plenty of room for an electric fan.

Looks good sneaky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've tilted the last three S10 AD swaps I've done, works great.
Your air ride stuff look really good.

I looked for ideas on the radiator but didn't find any really so just did it
"my way". lol
 
Well to determine the ride height I needed some wheels, so the rims came in. I may have widen the rear fenders to pull this off. lol
