Phil-
Forgot to say...don't know if I am really ahead. So far, I have stripped my S-10 to the frame, pulled the gas tank, and installed a 4WD rear end.
I got a 2000 Blazer rear, so I have disc brakes and a sway bar. I'm currently fabricating the frame mounts for the sway bar.
I have the engine/trans unbolted, ready to come out, but I have yet to take the time to drive a tractor into town to do the lifting. Might do that tomorrow if I have time.
I'm thinking of starting a thread detailing my progress or lack thereof.
