I've had that happen a few times too in my past, I do try to be as straight forward as I can, I dont know how much more clear I can get: "You can take me out of the car, but you will never take the car out of me, and if you are set on trying, it just aint gonna work".

Anyhow, looking forward to your build progress.

It's funny, but the lower these are, the less "skinny" the narrower S10 track width looks under those big honkin' round fenders...

Just for curiousity, what size wheels and tires are on that? Also, how far up off of the chassis is your body? Or, do you have a bunch of dropped suspension components on it?

I have a '87 extended cab (mostly) torn apart in the garage, which I've pretty much lost interest in doing anything with...And the little 2.8 runs quite well in it, too. The whole body swap thing keeps sliding around in my head....

Thanks for sharing your progress. Any more pics you want to share would be great!

Sorry to hear about the lady situation, but the old saying goes, "one door closes, another one opens."

i set this one four inches off the frame. the front i think is stock but the rear has 3 inch lowering blocks. as faras my love life goes... i been living with a new girl for a little bit..shes just as hot rod as me... ok back to the build.

One of the papers from a neighboring city posted a 3 ton GMC cab sitting on a late '80's GMC running gear. Apparently they fit extremely well , but you have to build the box from scratch pretty much.
But Ultra low miled cherry condition 3 tons are everywhere up here, hmmm...

Yeah, all I can find "cheap" or "available" (yeah, RIGHT) around here for cabs that are halfway decent are 1.5-2 tons. Cabs were the same from 1/2 ton up to 2 ton, front fenders and hoods got longer and wider with the "big guys."

Thanks for your reply, hellboy. I've seen plans for the mounts available on other forums... hmmmm....[S

[hell-boy]

my mounts were very simple. i could make you a pair
