Well I finally brought the new toy home. Since I finished up the LS swapped S-10 new mods this weekend I decided to latch the trailer up and go pick up the new project.

Plans are another LS swap, new custom aluminum radiator, new gauges, new ididit billet steering column, and a few other small things with the wiring.

Still deciding if I want to keep the turbo 400 or go to a 4speed auto.

I helped finish the truck about 2 years ago and I'm the only one who has actually put any miles on it (about 20 miles total!!!)

This was built by J-Rods which is my wifes dads shop. He got sick last year and finally let it go as it was built for my wife.

So now the wife has a LS swapped S-10 and a 32 ProStreet Ford pick up.... Its just not fair LMAO

 

I want one.....

 

Bad ***!

 

That's awesome!!! Time for you to build somethin. Stop letting Ur wife have all the fun haha

 

Oh I have plenty of fun, but the thing is I actually enjoy the building process more than the driving process. This truck is kinda a odd situation because before we got together over 6 years ago her dad was slowly and I mean slowly working on it because he was the only one that had an interest in it. When I came along it kinda sparked something with him and every weekend for the fist couple months I dated his daughter I worked on the truck with him.... In the end its me that has the final decisions on how I want to redo a few things and add a much stronger heart.

I'm going Friday to pick up the new heartbeat and for most they will say I'm ignorant, but I'm going with a low mileage 5.3L that is coming from a member here. Everyone has been on my case since I announced it last night... Bottom line the truck weighs in at 2100 lbs.... I don't need a ton of motor in the thing to make it go..

Tonight I will put up a poll on what I should do as far as the top end.

 

Awesome project. That's quite the view seeing both those trucks parked in that garage

 

I hate you Danny

I think a procharger would be great with how lightweight that thing is.

 

I thought about that but where do you put the cooler??? LOL

 

Awesome ride man!

Just wondering what makes it a pro street though? Im assuming the suspension?

 

that thing is freakin sick!!!
