ROXROES, is that a kit (using the term loosely) or is it your/his fab? Looks really fricking nice. Love to have some specs on that.:D
I'll take that as a compliment. :D

Its our fab, 3 link y link front (RE TJ 7.5" coils) with alcan anti-wrap rear leafs (3" lift over stock leafs). Its got a divorced 205 in it, which he would like to add a doubler to eventually. Actually doing another similar build but with airshocks for a buddy right now on an older style s10.

EDIT
Click the 'project pics' link in my sig and go through the main folder for pics throughout the build.

Thanks,
Chris
 
Ahhh....how I love these trucks.

Bill (gogogadgetbiker), Dave (SFAZR2DAVE2112), Steve (1TFROT), Paul (oober), I really appreciate that I've gotten a chance to meet you guys, and see your trucks close up. (FWIW, looking forward to 'wheeling with y'all again, hopefully soon.) In particular, Bill, your experience is the one I'm taking the most from, to adapt to my Sonoma 'build - low, big tires, flexy. My adaption to that, though, will be that I want to keep as much body (front fenders) as possible. Gonna be a tricky....

Still in the works, got to get a hold of some transfer cases now. hey coolmudrunner, what are you running for a transmission?
im new to this s10 stuff so bear with me on the truck i quoted what axle would that be a jeep axle? and if it is a jeep axle how close are the lug patterns. i have a 2wd 96 s10 that i want to do a sas on with mabey a 3 inch lift to run as a dd

The S-10 doesn't share a lug pattern with anything of use. Jeeps are 5" on 4.5" and S-10's are 5" on 4.75" IIRC. Considering the unit bearings, I'd say it is a Dana 30 front(from a TJ, XJ,YJ, ZJ...who knows).

so ill have to either run different rims front rear or get some sort of adapting wheel spacer
 
you do realize that youre polishing a turd with a dana 30 front end, right?
ya i realize its crap i have a 10 and 12 bolt that i was going to throw under it but i decided i wanted to make it just a solid axled daily driver not for wheelin ive got two fullsize trucks for that and the other reason i would go with a dana 30 is because i want the wheel base to match so the truck will look like it was made that way
