Buy my 49 Chevy Five window pick up and put it on the s-10 chassis. I really like what your doing though.

Awesome, looks great. My fav. color teal :tup:

Nice,

How is it without the blower box? My brother did the same thing and had to keep a small battery powered fan in the truck for those days when the windshield fogs up. I think he’s going to keep it in his new truck now.

its about damn time you got a camera Derek

good stuff!

Love it!! I like the smoothed firewall.

The only thing I think I would change would be the wheels.

^^^actually, i just bought some wheels today at the swap meet. cragar “weld prostar” look alikes. also got a bnib linelock and fuel pressure guage.

as for the blower box, i drive the truck from around may/june to october ish on nice days, so not really in rain or anything. always have the window open so it never fogs up. also, i did get the motor in today.
