That's how mine looked till I got springs for it, very cool you will love it!

Very very cool build. Just wondering, what are you going to do on beefing the S10's front suspension? Hard to say if all of the suspension components will handle all that weight of the 12v.

You should post pix over here too, instead of linking us over to the other site.

I will post some but probably not as many. I didn’t want to link it over but I really don’t have the extra time to have the exact same thread on several different boards. But I have to share with my fellow diesel gearheads.

Nice project!

Looking good man, did you have to cut extra firewall out to fit the turbo? Im not doing a procharger just going with a stock setup for now Im going to turn the manifold over so it will be on top but its looking like the down pipe is going to be right in the cab.

 

[ME.]

Yea the cab is cut allot. I will build some twins for it when the time comes and they will be crammed in there somewhere.

Nice I love that body style. My cousin has a 53 chevy with a gas engine in it and I love that style of truck. Keep us updates with Pics. Great Job.

NIce, I like old school swaps :rockwoot:

 

[ME.]

I got the rear mostly done, the frame boxed and built a cage for the fuell cell

 

[ME.]

I have been very busy with this truck and now it is road worthy for the most part. (I do have a few more thing to do but it can and has been driven on the street and in traffic)

I love that style truck. Nice work so far.
