S10 V8 hot rod ..... Salt flat Shop truck
 

For the guys who enjoyed the build pics of my truck

other than scuffing the rest of the clear and putting on my weathered shop logo here it is

2 s10 with 400 horse sbc vortec headed 357 with th350 and 8" ATI converter 2500 stall...... its just a cruiser shop truck. I just need my wipers back on and a new passanger headlight to get inspection. And really the only thing to finish it is wet sanding and putting on my door logo and sand it back down to make it look more weathered... and yes these are the Salt Flat specials i'll link a video when its done uploading

i've already have had a blast driving it around and snapping necks so with the logo it should be even better looking to fit my shop truck theme.... lots of buyers but its not for sale anymore i'm going to enjoy it for a while and take it with me to the next couple of years to Rod run in Pigeon Forge then i may try somthing else. And yes this truck hauls ass with the setup on the street

thanks man, i'm going to work on fading off the clear this week and putting on my logo that will say, "Wille James Garage" Since 1967...... i own 4 acres where i'm building my house and it has a nice garage built in 67 from my grandpa and we just got done remodeling it a bit. And this is just in memory of him and all the hot rods my uncles have built in there... Gotta have a shop if you wana build a shop truck :)

hope everyone enjoys the pics

how hard was the swap?

It needs to be fast to outrun the ugly.. :p

I don't think I could drive a car with a 1980s GM interior every day, it would need to be redone..

haha, its nery nice oem interior but yea, its not my daily by any means 10 mpg..... the fully loaded 05 sierra is my DD behind it :D

One of your more simplest Swaps. No big wiring either. I done everything my self including building the engine and trans from scratch. The exhaust was done at my old work and is the only thing i did not do.
