My sons and I started this with a ratty '82 S-10 long bed standard cab pick up truck. Shortened the mid-frame section 291/2" and took 14" from behind the rear spring perch. Channeled the cab 4". Removed the stock steering components (accept steering box) and framed out a '31 model A axle for up front. Using the stock 2.8L V-6(for now) and the stock automatic tranny. Completely removed the roof and reinforced the cab structure. B&M floor shifter,stock bench seat, new aluminium dash. Reworked the radiator support and prop rods. Full custom exhaust off the stock manifolds with glass pack side pipes. We started this in October of 2011 and are now waiting to find new spindles and brake kit for front. 90% of all the parts we needed we made here in the garage, from scratch, using parts and materials from just about anything we could find the would suit our needs...It's been really fun so far and I learned alot about my boys, my oldest is quite the welder, and my youngest loves to paint! Got any suggestions, ideas, or where I might be able to locate some cheap model A spindle/brakes parts...shoot me a message!! Thanks for looking!
