Nicely done.  :) Alot of money in all that billet.

Yeah it cost alot but I sold my custom s-10 to fund this project. I think it was a pretty good trade off how about you? ;D

I'm with on that. I feel these trucks have more character than mini trucks. Don't get me wrong, i've seen some pretty nice minis that have been well done, just my opinion. ;D

Nice score on the seat it looks real nice are you sure you want to recover it the blue looks good. I could see your truck with a blues theme. Kinda like Kenny Wayne Sheperd's "Blue on Black"

My truck had a blue interior orginally, about those colors. I am going to do it in black, I know it will be hot but I think it will look cool 8) Black on Black or as AC/DC would say Back in Black  :D

ya that would look cool to have all black, my stepper had a vinal blue bench seat with blue door panels, and dash pad, no headliner from the factory, its a bare bones work truck, it didnt even have power stering me and my dad put that on :D, but when i get that far i plan on geting a seat cover made its gonna be black acroos the top and down the center of seat, with blue under neath the black and beside it with a iron croos stitched in suede in the center of the black on the back rest, that will also be blue, and the blue will match the truck when painted. same with coor panels most will be black with the small tuck and roll by the handle blue. and no head liner i like it that way but probably once all thats done ill put one in cuz it will look weird with out one 8) but keep up the good work and keep us posted, o and 69byrd i have your truck as my pic on my desktop lol 8)

Thanks and I feel honored to be on your desktop. Not much going on I would just like to say I went for a fun ride this afternoon. I went by my cousins to shoot the breeze(and a little shine ;)) and when I left he wanted to see what my truck would do. So I got on it a little bit ok mabye a lot but anyway my 12 bolt peg leg rear diff hooked up pos and I left out sideways,it was all over the road until it hit second. I stayed in it until I was out of site I guess it spun 150 to 175 yards. Next time I do that I am gonna get a video but heres a pix of where it happened. Oyeah I'm gonna put in my taillights tomorrow so I should have some pix.

Here is where I left and it spun way past the second mailbox. Man it was fun ;D 8)

That is a sweet video! That is what I looked like, next time I do that I'm gonna get the wife to video it. A little update on the taillights I didn't get them finished, the heater in the shop went out and I couldn't handle the cold. I wanted to make an access on the back of the stake pockets so I had to take the fenders off to work on it. So it is a pretty big job, hope to get the heater fixed so mabye I'll have it done in a few days. I did get my seat swaped, I'll get a pic later.

I swapped out my seat from a 93 for the seat out of a 83. I think it looks alot better.







Now I have to work on the rest of the interior ::)

It has the gear that came in it a 273. Not as much on take off but it pulls hard once up to speed. I would like to do a  342 in the future but I get decent gas milage with the one I got.
