i dont like paint, i like primer, i like an under costruction look,........if i ever painted it, the color would be gun metal grey

that's my favorite color.   probably because I'm too lazy to wash anything, and it shows the dirt the least

heres what I am building. I am 2 months or so into it. It has a 5/6 drop, full painted frame and suspension. The engine is just a 4.3 v6 but will be chromed to the nuts. I like low and slow, i dont like speed. It will stay in primer for a while, i expect the whole thing will take 2-3 years to finish, at least. Rims are Ridler 695's 18 inch on Goodyear Eagle Gt's 234/45/18. Its fun and keeps me busy. Im assuming the police have attached a gps tracker on it already.


This may be a stupid question but why do you like the ride so low? What's the experience like in a truck riding so low?  I have had very low performance cars and have a high riding truck that I love, I can't imagine combining the two.

ive never been a fan of high trucks and have loved low vehicles since i was a kid. Every single vehicle i see on the road i picture it slammed to the ground. I have no desire to drive through dirt and puddles, my goal is low and slow, im the putt putt king of Regina driving around  at half the speed limit

I'm always impressed with folks that can do this kinda work.....wish I had skills like that.   I need to take some general mechanic courses and get my hands dirty.

Impressive!

when i started i know nothing, absolutely nothing
everything i know now i learned from youtube and s10forum.com

i went from unable to change oil to being able to pull a truck apart to the frame and build it back up

this is my single favorite truck on the planet, Esteban Vazquez' s10, so clean and subtle. I love it.


Ironmiester or FitnessFrenzy could you shop Josh driving this truck with head out the window and some getbiggers riding in the back?

I can put air in my tires.  :(

I`m not mechanically inclined at all.

The closest I come to turning a wrench is watching Gas Monkey Garage..........osmosis.

my girlfriend wholeheartedly states that i am the only man on earth who scratches his nuts and takes a whiff. I said insanity, most men do. What do you think about this conundrum?

I know a guy who says he`s never jerked off.....not one single time in his life.

Somehow,I find this hard to believe.
