Lookin for a truck, and found the holy grail! (warning! Maximum Low Content inside)

[Mercury[BKM]]

I need a truck, I also want something i can slam, I ALSO want something i can like "euro trash out" (and not just flip for mad profits)

that lil guy up above would be perfect!!

think it would be possible to find a good base on craigs list that ran pretty well for like 500 bucks or less (im truck dumb, but i figure it should be possible)

On bags, body drop, and a 50 chevy truck hood grafted in. That would be more money then brains... Just get an cheap s-10 and do a 3/4 drop. Unless you want to lay frame, then bag it and notch the frame in the rear.


Also in before MR325 post pictures of his lowered Xtreme :P

And yes, i'm a big fan of lowered trucks.

[Mercury[BKM]]

yeah i was pricing bags, yep, figure cheap truck find some good wheels and do just a crazy low drop.

just gonna use it to haul stuff away from pick and pull and move shit with on occasion, and to scoot about in when i start the 302 swap on the eta

[JasonC]

Too bad you didnt live closer to me. My buddy just sold his 96 S10. had 350 swap. short bed, reg cab and was red with only a small rust spot in cab corner for $700. he had it for sale for a while and no one wanted it. they kept low balling him

[Mercury[BKM]]

ah dammit jason! Killin me smalls =(

yeah im semi looking on craigslist, Id like something mechanically decent (swapped would be fine) throw some wheels and suspension on it and haul around couches and whatever in my free time

I def would have prolly made a road trip up there to take a look at his truck if he still had it =/, ah well

[JasonC]

lol, he offered it to me for $500. i turned it down cause i rather had the boxy body style 93 and back. But there are deals out there. Just got to look, i may look for one if my corvair sells and i'm not able to get the e30 i want cause it maybe gone by then. But i think i'm going to look for first gen S10's, 4thgen fbodys, or and Xtreme Blazer if i'm unable to get the e30. Cause i'm going to need a daily driver.

And might aswell join http://www.s10forum.com/ if your thinking about getting an S10

I actually really like that even though it has no abillity to be a truck anymore.

and why not?

here is my old truck, I have hauled MANY motors and transmissions in the bed of it. Man, do I miss it. Its not a S10, but was just as cool.

One thing, if you are going to do airride, get good quality stuff, trust me!

[Mercury[BKM]]

im not a fan of chrome rims but thats pretty sweet.

325 is that bagged or are those just really low springs, also, thats a 99ish?? (like it a lot)

[318isbmw]

Not a fan of the s10, but to each their own. I love a lowered truck though, on bags would be a lot of fun, a bodydrop is a lot of work for what you get. This is coming from someone who is in the middle of building a new frame to stock floor body drop my c10.

[TheGreenVert]

my b2200 i just sold... had hydro's full shave everything. custom step notch, etc etc. Laid frame on 20's without any major tubbing



Also my first s10. Static slammed, spindles, springs, and shocks. Blocks and shackles in the rear.

[ck_taft325is]

I was reading on how to lower an S10 like the poster above me and his first truck. There's some confusing articles out there. Some of it sounds down right dangerous. Anything specific I should know/read?

[TheGreenVert]

its pretty straight forward,

Spindles are a straight swap out along with front shocks and springs.

As for the leafs, I removed 1 from each side, this is a little sketchy cuz they spring apart... but shackles and blocks are just a straight swap in.

You could for sure install a full lowering kit in an s10 in 1 maybe 2 days max.
