    RRBIED Build - 39 Chevy One Ton

    I gotta figure out how to upload more than one photo at a time from my phone. But for now, here's where I am until my eyes heal.

    RRBIED Build - 39 Chevy One Ton

    Alright. So I last left y'all asking about springs. Turns out I was way too lazy for that whole process so I cut holes in order to put on the motor mount bushings. These were from a v6 s10, and my frame was tapped for a 4cyl. If you don't know, they use different mount holes. So what I ended up...

    RRBIED Build - 39 Chevy One Ton

    Looking for some technical advice. 95 S10 frame, 2wd, 4cyl. I need to move the lower control arm out of the way so I can get up behind the motor mounts and attach nuts to the bolts. If I remove the two circled bolts, am I going to face the tension release from the spring in a violent manner? And...

    RRBIED Build - 39 Chevy One Ton

    Hahaha yeahhh I asked that. Told y'all I was a newbie. I didn't get rid of anything. Just piled them all up in a corner. As for progress, I took a wire wheel to the frame where the motor mounts and got rid of tons of caked up oil. Cleaned it up and laid some primer. Also played with the motor...

    The two beds. Pretty big difference in how good a shape the new one is compared to the old. And it matches color? Score..

    As requested... Photos of the 39, the s10, the Camaro and motor, etc. However, the photo of the parts all laid out.. Anyone know what some of these things are? All this stuff was in the cab. Some of the obvious stuff like running board mounts I know. Some other obscure things I do not. Any...

    Resurrection! Well I've been offline for a long ass time. That's my bad. A TON has happened since my last post. Here's a quick run down: Went from 2 vehicles to 5 attempting to source parts and pieces. Finally back down to 2. I got a running 95 S10, reg cab reg bed, for a handful of hundreds...

    Well. It's decided. Camaro is coming apart. I'll try and sell the body and whatever else I don't need. Next week some time I'll start taking stuff apart.

    Thank you for the warm welcome! As for titling, does already having the title in my name for the 39 not help? For security reasons I'd rather not say which base I'm actually at. If later on down the road someone figures it out, that's one thing. Hopefully yall can respect that, which I'm sure...

    And this is why I'm stuck.. Haha. I have a buddy who is semi mechanical savvy, and my boss is the same way. I have been arguing the fact of using the Camaro as a donor seeing it as that I already own it, and it does have a decent bit I can use. I'm leaning that way. The idea of the dually peaks...
