  • The Local Thirteen Shop Truck

    Whats good? My name is Lou and im an addict. Ive been addicted to "ruining perfectly good cars" since my first car when I was 16. A lot of you know me from my last car. I had a 95 VW golf. Gti front end swapped. It was a bagged notched and stanced. Last seen at H2o with 16in Mercedes amg monoblock 2's. I was also the founder of MADEYULK here in Nj. Due to Hurricane Sandy. I had to part out and sell the Vw. Which broke my heart. In my current situation I needed a pick up truck. I picked up a 91 Chevy s10 over the winter and already Im sitting at a 5/6 static drop. Currently on firebird mesh wheels. Spacers are ordered. I plan on attempting to stance this truck the best that I can .I swapped the whole front end, Grill, lip, bumper, headlamps fogs, blinkers, for all my favorite parts of the gen1 s10. I built a bunch custom interior parts, center console, sun visors, knobs, cranks all out of used Skate decks and skateboard parts. I pretty much have the whole truck mapped out but right now funds are beyond tight. So Ill be doing and building what I can when I can. My last car took 4 years to get to where I was stoked and you could see my personality show through it. In 6 months time my new truck already screams my personality. So in my eyes Im way ahead in comparison.

    I want to thank stanceworks and the whole stance scene for being open minded to all types of cars and trucks. It really comes down to style, stance and individuality. Im not into the overly flashy,massive wheel,gaudy paint, craziness that is all the mini trucking forums. I keep reading that those guys don't know where their scene is going. Well I hope to help cross it over with the other few s10 and pickup guys on this forum that share similar visions as me. Eventually when all is said and done I hope to have once again built a well respected project.

    The shop truck is a 91 S10 2.5L 4cyl Iron Duke. Its a 5 speed manual. On my journey home with the truck the trans exploded. I had it towed to my buddys shop so we could do a major tune up and replace the trans.

    The truck needed more work then I thought. The whole suspension was garbage too so needless to say I started there.

    This is shortly after I picked the truck up.

    Sneak peak at the new #local13 #shoptruck. #s10 Thanks to @chainnoise. For helping me get this thing on the road. I really appreciate it. photo 72905_403646856390310_164514885_n.jpg

      Ive never been a fan of the black on black wheels. So after talking to Matt and Matt Haggard. They hooked me up with a set of firebird mesh wheels that had been lying around from a S10 that Haggard had in the past.

        Since Im also and artist and major skateboard enthusiast, I started making some skateboard inspired parts for the truck.

          There is no headliner in the truck so I decided to sticker bomb the inside of the roof using my sticker collection.

              So Ive started working on the wheels. Anyone who knows me knows how much work I put into the last set of bbs wheels I had on my mk3. I decided to clean these up and paint them just like my beloved RZ wheels. I have stripped them and started cleaning them. I plan on painting the centers off white and polishing the lips.

                  As for getting some stance and fitment out of this truck, I did some measurements and Im starting with one inch spacers for the rear. I replaced the rear drums on the truck and the adapters aren't sitting flush so I didn't mount them yet. I need to grind and clean up the drum seat so they will sit flush and not come loose. Here is a shot of the test fit.

                  Im gonna swap out the 3in blocks for 4in blocks and remove the shims to bring the back down another inch or so. The fronts should only need a half inch spacer. Since this isn't the wheel set up invision for the truck im not gonna go nuts dialing it in.
