Salvage 10

All this, so I can totally **** up my floor and firewall. I know in my head how I want i to be, but will never be able to make the goal.

So, figured Id slowly start working on the S10 again want to do floors and firewall next. Then thought don't have intake figure out yet.
So, had the 90°s but no 4" tube, 80s model Chevy Square body has a 4" drive shaft in case you need to know. Ithought it would be temporary it's not going to be.

Brings new meaning to Heavy Duty Intake :rolf:

And really like that tailgate :dblthumb:

at least you dont have to listen to the air intake as much

Is your engine solid mounted? How about the body? Seems like you would want the intake mounted to the engine, not the body?

Everything is poly mounted, the 2 90°s are silicon. Body will be welded to the sliders, and cage.

Just a picture showing I've been working on it, and I will say the struggle is real!
Still got a way to go, this sheet metal work is really testing my patience :rolf:

Good to see some progress being made.

Sheet metal is getting close to being done other than welding

I was worried it wouldn't, but brake lines should clear just fine.

Not exactly S10 related yet!
Built a swing out generator mount that will clear camper door, hated having it without a spot. Got to get a shorter pivot bolt

Got rained out at work today, decided to tinker with some seat mounts.
I wanted them to fold up because i have future plans for behind the seats area.
pull one pin and they will fold up, pivots have bronze bushings.

Glad to see some progress on the truck again.

Bad thoughts, been thinking about parting it out.
I've stepped away and just been ordering parts, worked on it a little bit last weekend it was same old sinerio, more work created. Don't know how it's gonna go.

Ha you sure are hard on parts!

Decided to roll it outside, just to see how it compares to my truck. Driveway angled to the left.
Don't think its going to be much if any taller than a stock pickup it's sitting at ride height
