JustHatched 12,123 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Bought this a couple weeks ago. Its a 1991 S10. The guy whom built it passed over a year ago, his daughter has since had it and it pretty much has sat since then. We've been negotiating on this thing for awhile. I know it has a 383 V8, Comp roller cam, Edelbrock Airgap intake, 2 Edelbrock Performer Carbs, 700R4 trans with trans brake, and Ford 9 inch rear. It's a work in progress. 14 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Sinister 2,583 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Nice score. Those little trucks can haul ass very well Hope that 700 is well built because they can barely handle a stock 350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beez 5,091 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Nice looking pickup except for that thing on the back of the cab but that's just my opinion. I assume you have to put some weight in the back to get it to hook up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister 2,583 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 With a proper rear suspension and chassis setup it should hook without any weight in the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinister 2,583 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Be sure and post a video. Careful though because if it has more power than traction you will be posting the wrong kind of video Interested in hearing it run though. A nice cam is a thing of beauty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a bit of tuning up here is what it sounds like, my phone doesn't do it justice though cuz Rose can hear it 2 miles or so from our house Engine bay cleaned up. Oh yeah, the dash is out of a '59 Chevy 8 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Sinister 2,583 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Sounds good. Loving that dash, took some work to pull that off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,123 Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Well, i've thought real long on this and I have never been keen on the color, to dark and red for my taste. And since the truck has some minor issues as well I have decided after Xmas I am going to take the bed and cab off the frame, strip the frame and send it in for powder coat, rebuild the front end to better support the V8, rebuild rear end and add a track bar to it, rebuild the tranny, redo all the wiring, rear disc brake conversion with 4 piston calipers all the way around. Freshen the engine up, repaint it blue and get the interior redone. I am gonna close the hole in the hood and have a taller hood scoop so I can run a larger air filter on top of both carbs. Should take about a year to do everything, I'll be hanging up my airplanes to use all that money to cover truck costs 3 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

JustHatched 12,123 Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've been putting in alot of hours redoing my truck, almost have the interior done, just waiting on door panels and headrest to get done and installed. Here is what it looks like now. Dash is out of a 1959 Chevy Impala, seats out of a 2017 Camaro 4 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

zztop911 1,609 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) I like that grill in the air damn. There's better solution to those old school slapper bars. CalTracs are bolt on and adjustable alternative. Pinion angle stays the same. Adjustable pre-load to keep the vehicle straight. Improve traction....car goes straight. I put them on my friend's Maverick and it totally changed the car, especially after I dialed in the correct pinion angle. A must have in all the leaf spring drag racing classes. Great people to work with! http://www.calvertracing.com/caltracs.html Edited May 16, 2018 by zztop911 Quote I only grow in living soil! Because Fat Buds Matter!
