Thanks for the quick replys. Think I'm going to like this forum.
I bought the truck in pieces so it's not drivable now and likely won't be until next spring /summer. It's from New Mexico and was tore down in 1998 then put in storage. The only parts assembled are the frame, EVERYTHING else was loose or in boxes. They were going to go SB Chevy and had crossmembers for engine and tranny made. The sheet metal was sanded down to bare metal. No drive train came with. Pretty much starting from scratch. Was planning on mounting on a S-10 frame but changed my mind and will use the existing frame. (By the way I now have a 87 S-10, 4-wheel dive, regular cab, long box for sale with a new long block 2.8)
I'll post pics soon.
