Fawkin eh. I've watched you build this since the original on Evo, looks good, just suicks about the reasoning.

What's the fuel cell that you're using? Looks like a good size and shape.

used to be a diesel side tank on like a 5ton truck, ya it sure is big and takes up alot of room but can run 5 days in the bush and not worry about fuel.

I really dig Poorboy's Truck and I think that yours is going to be in the same league with his! So carry on.:smokin:

well getting down to some of the details now so things take time to do a nice job, steering is slow going but will get there in time, interior is just about done just wiring now, got some rims n tires haha :flipoff2: just have piss around now cutting up some of the wheels and weld some centers in and they will be ready to go.

more pics

What tires and wheels are those? I like those!

18.4x16.1 firestones 8ply's , the wheels are off of whatever tractor or machinery thease came from, i have a total of 6 tires and wheels, two have a large rim center offset for duals, have to cut them out and make centers for the wheels that match.

Sweet build...nice tubework....too bad its a chevy...:flipoff2:

Just fuking with ya get it done

:smokin: very cool build man cant wait to see the end result keep up the great work

Cant you just use a 16'' 8 lug rim with those tires? Very cool build.

Ya nice work in am lovin the tire and rim selection subscribed for sure

Cant you just use a 16'' 8 lug rim with those tires? Very cool build.

yes i could but i have the rims the tires came with and other rims to use for centers, the rims that came with the tires look to be a 3 peice design so narrowing them to the width i want should be easy and welding in centers that i can cut out of the rims i have can allow me to set my back spacing to what i want, i see an issue with the tires hitting the front springs while turning, and im cheep haha :flipoff2: build it myself, save some money and have a better product in the end. :D

Sick build..great fab skills. What did you use for paint on the frame, rear cage, etc?

what did you use for radiator hose? i am building a s10 and going to mount the radiator in the bed for more room around the small block

what did you use for radiator hose? i am building a s10 and going to mount the radiator in the bed for more room around the small block

i used corrugated marine coolant and exhaust hose:smokin:

Hardcore rig with a clean look. I like it!

I love the truck. You do good work.

Joker

I take it your original s-10 was built on a Full sived chevy frame?
Awesome build, not to many fullsized truck done with class.

ok thanks.. where do you find that stuff at? like a boat dealer?

we need pics of the burn out, no way you didnt burn them down before you put the bigguns back on.

We need to see pics of this thing in the tundra. I`m assuming it`s made for the bush. Good job.

looks great, just wondering.... any interior cage plans or just keeping it like this?

ok thanks.. where do you find that stuff at? like a boat dealer?

picked mine up at greenline hose so probably any industrial hose suppiler

We need to see pics of this thing in the tundra. I`m assuming it`s made for the bush. Good job.

yup made for the bush, heading out for the may long weekend a week from tomorow :D

looks great, just wondering.... any interior cage plans or just keeping it like this?

not sure on the cage yet weather interior or exo, but would like to do more tube work on the front end and go from there, just ran out of time this year.

Great build! Gnarly big block, orange chevy cab, 45" ags, built in a shop with no sheet rock. Seems so familiar! Keep up the good work man!

This is what my Chevy wants to be when it grows up. AWESOME build, man.

Between you and pporboy I get allot of ideas on my build. Just need the garage space to do it. my one car is not cutting it.

This is what my Chevy wants to be when it grows up. AWESOME build, man.

THATS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!:lmao::lmao::lmao: LOL I would have to say the same about mine to.

had the rig out three times now and no complaints works awsome :grinpimp:

:smokin:Looks fawking nice. Love the tube work on the rear....not to mention the big block. Reminds me of home

yup use to be a full size chevy then the s10 then back again lol :smokin:

Alright lol my question was about to be "Holy shit did you really drop a fullsize cab on an s10 frame lol"

I'm terrible at identifying frames for the most part. Truck is very cool, would love to see pics of the tundra up there.

how well do those tires go?

best set of tires i have ever ran off road, the flotation and traction is unreal :D ya i have gotten stuck but so would 54s and rockwells :flipoff2: never going back to a dot tire like a bogger :smokin:

x3

hmm...

Well it is the time of year for building again just finishing up my pos ford tow rig build so i figure ill bump this up with some pics and build plans to come. :D by all means this bitch is not unstoppable :smokin:

So far on the list is new headers and exhaust system 1.75 primarys are not cutting it anymore and again get the exhaust up and out of the water.

Install new larger radiator and tin the back in around the rad for protection and to keep the mud out, had a near miss with a stick to the radiator.

Need more storage! behind the seat fills up fast, thats all i got for now. :flipoff2:

I really like your build and I don't generally like truggys but fk u did it right !! It sure looks unstoppable especially with those tractor tires

i may have missed it but what leaves are you useing?

Nice rig. All that fancyness and custom crooked tail light work :flipoff2: and still using blocks in the rear? I'm kinda surprised they didnt jump out on the first trip or two. Especially with the ag tires.

i may have missed it but what leaves are you useing?

Superlift 4 inch 52s up front and stock 3/4 ton rear 52s.

Yeah i have been running the same rear springs and blocks for like 8 years now lol never had an issue, id like to get a propper spring but im probably gunna run coils and links in a few years but who knows :flipoff2:

If it had boobs I'd ask it to marry me! :D That's one sexy rig, great job on the build!

This is Probably my favorite build here.

Any Plans to replace the 208? I assume its held up for you so far.

This is Probably my favorite build here.

Thanks man :grinpimp:

Any Plans to replace the 208? I assume its held up for you so far.

yeah i have been running the same 208 for 5 years now, i have a few spares and they just sit around and collect dust haha so i cant complane, if i did change it out id like to do a lowmax 205 proabably, lol to manny projects in the works, for now the driveline is solid enough for me. :smokin:

Truggy looks awesome. I have been thinking about cutting my front fenders like that once I get my pile put back together. Those pictures just finished making my decision for me.

Sweet build!

Is that steering column a modified stock one or aftermarket?

There's one in the Petersons Magazine this month that looks like your rig! but your looks a lot better than that one.

Pissed off looking? :flipoff2:

:D yea it looks like its ready to bully some other trucks around and take their lunch money :flipoff2:

Do you have any poser flex shots?

is it as stiff as it looks?

went back and reread ur thread..all that awesome work and ur exhaust hangars stick out most to me... rad idea bud!:grinpimp:

I'm guessing you missed where he answer you the first time

Sweet :smokin:

lookn good

Where did u get those tractor tires?

not much going shes parked till i get my dually project finished, just a few pics of the hooders from last summer :smokin:

how well do ag tires work in snow? i know you said they work great offroad-so dont flame me just yet, just want to know what your impression is of them only in the white stuff

good in deep snow, ice and rocks there not very good so anything frozen its more challenging.

Ive always enjoyed this build. Lots of good fab ideas to uh...borrow:flipoff2:. Look forward to seein the rocks under there

how do you hear yourself think with the straight headers?

hahaha trust me dallas ive been tryin to get the old rubber for a while now it just wont happen

Keep thinking that :rolleyes:

Some questions for you if you don't mind.

Where did you buy the nice tall air filter and foam pre-filter? I would like the same thing for my 454 (once I finally build it). Looks like plenty of surface area for good airflow.

Do you regret the "hooders" or "zoomies" whatever you call them? Is there a loss from not having a common collector in the exhaust system such as an X pipe or H pipe?? Probably not a noticeable difference? I know a lot of mud trucks run them, but don't you have to worry about water/mud getting down in them? Do you cover them when the engine is not running? And where did you buy them?

Also, what's your wheelbase?

That is an awesome truck. Too bad about the trailor accident. Where do you go wheelin?
