    BTW, when you get ready to purchase a bumper/roll pan you should check out LMC Truck. Their head office is like a 10 minute drive from my house and they make really high quality products.They might have repro'd ZR2 Fenders, too.
    thats really funny. i was just looking at my lmc catalog a few hours ago for those two things lol i usually just use them to get ideas. they are quite pricey. theres a set of flares at my local junkyard right now. i just only had channel locks when i went last. the rollpan is starting to get pretty low on my list of things i want

      Looking good, paint on the grill came out really good and makes it look 10x better.

        went to the junkyard today with much higher expectations. but ended up only getting a bumper cover. im pretty stoked about it. little more trimming and some paint, then it should be good!

        taking apart


        and a shitty picture of it together


        next project will probably be trying to install some foglights. i took them out at the junkyard so i could get the cover a bit cheaper. i think ill end up getting some led headlights and then some led pods for the fogs.

          got the wheels painted black, and just ordered some led headlights. plan to lower the rear sometime soon by removing a leaf. i found out that zq8 leafs are the same as regular s10 leafs but with the middle leaf removed. really happy i didnt spend nearly $100 to figure that out. cool stuff is coming, just trying to get my motivation back after some shit happening in life

              thanks bro, i thought it looked alot better as well

              just got my headlights put in, the passenger side wiring is pretty well dicked and im at work. so ill have to mess with that tonight. probably just say fuck the next guy (or myself if i can actually keep it long enough) and just remove the sealed beam plug, then splice and heat shrink the wires together. could have just said hard wire lol

                Truck Looks good man! Color matching the groll helped a lot.

                Fwiw zq8 leafs are not the same as regular leafs with a leaf removed. Is it similar? Yes. But they both have differe t spring ratios. I remember reading a thread on it on s10f years ago. That being said, if you're not worried about ride, pull the leaf and don't look back. Idt you would tell much of a difference anyways imo.

                  thanks for the compliment and info man! i probably will end up just pulling the leaf to save some money

                  not much has been happening with the truck, pretty much just been enjoying cruising it. got some new centercaps the other day that im trying out. nothing special, just newer s10 centers so they are round. then this morning i wrapped my headliner. if im being honest it turned out pretty shitty, but its better than half of it sagging on whoever is riding with me. didnt cut out the visor holes since every visor in s10's at the junkyards are destroyed and i never use them anyways.





                  its not everyones style, and its not 100% mine either. just trying to do something different. since it turned out rough im sure ill end up wrapping it again in the future

                    headliner started sagging in the back by 7pm last night lol cut my muffler off today, the inlet had actually seperated from the muffler itself...so i found my biggest exhaust leak. its not real pretty, and somehow the truck is still real quiet. it has a little rumble, and it now sounds like it wants to backfire when im engine braking. ill get my buddy to help weld it soon. long term i would like to get a full exhaust made and have it exit out the bedsides. so this is more or less just temporary.



                    i also may have found a sbc

                              Hey man, find a fourth one and polish them up nicely and they'll look frickin' choice. Nice score.

                                So spent some time this morning getting the garage cleaned up and getting my upper balljoints into the new speedway tubular UCA’s. took Friday off so ill have 4 days to get the front end rebuilt, the back lowered, and possibly some other stuff done. Along with that I have changed my mind on a few things and some new stuff is in the works. This truck made me rethink my wheel specs so sometime here soon ill be putting my back wheels on the front, and getting 15x10’s with 3” backspacing for the rear. Should be fairly aggressive….the drawing you will all just have to stick around to see whats going to come of that!
