So I got these paddles that have been laying around for years. I got them off of CL along time ago for $200.

The S10, well it was a freebie that a friend wrecked many years ago and left parked in his field for along time before I drug it home two years ago. Its got a peppy little 4.3 V6 and a 700R4. I was gonna use the injected engine in a project that fizzled long ago so I pulled it out of the berry bushes for a few more rides!:D

Wait, lemme guess, big paddles, lower gears, less weight...........lot's O fun! :D
 
they are fun. what is the parts plan.

4.3 maybe, 350 most likely.

21.50X15 DickCepek Multi Paddles

15X16 wide white steelies I got at the swap meet for $50

IFS toyota rear with a welded V6 carrier until a 14 bolt 4.10 rear is needed.

15X18 8 lug wheels I got at the same swapmeet for $20 when 14B is installed

Got a hood and a grill and KCs for headlights and thats it, I think.:cool:
 
Got the toyota rear in and the paddles installed on the 6 lug wheels. Im gonna build a pair of traction bars for the rear.

I would like to lift the front a little but dont know whats available to do it with?

I put a pair of 33 inch bfg mts on it earlier and it drifts anywhere like nothin! Pretty fun rig. Might have to try the paddles at the sandpit in ashford to see if will fall on its face or not before going to oregon!:awesomework:

fabtech has 3.5" lift spindles for S10's but I dunno if you want to spend 500+ for them.
 
yeah, thats what I figured. you got all the front end parts you need?
 
if you want fenders I might have a buddy with a set he doesnt want.

edit: what about a core support?
 
Awesome. Just plain awesome. :redneck:

A word of advise: reinforce your upper control arms. :awesomework:

I have one laying on the floor of the shop that is a taco. It was on it when I got it. I thought the frame was bent until I got the front end off and realized it had a tacoed upper control arm!:redneck:
