The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Walk me through an S10 rebuild...

Considering going 2 ways here. I found a truck locally that is very restored, very original. Good looking unit. Stock rear and engine.
Problem is I want a truck I can drive all day and the S10 frame, rear end, steering... seems like it is more what I want.
Can someone walk me through what I'd do?? If I went this route I'd like to stick my 383 in it or I also have a 350 in pieces. Either way the V8 would be 'moderately' modified, cam, good heads, 4bbl carb but nothing crazy.
Someone with some time...talk to me...

Howdy littlekings, and welcome to the Stovebolt Page!

Actually, the S-10's (although a great truck -- used to own one! It was the first vehicle I ever bought brand new!) are beyond the scope of this web site. We are a lot simpler around here and try to stick to the pre-'73 trucks (you don't have to be as smart ). I'm going to move this post to our general discussion area (The Greasy Spoon). We have a few guys who are smart about S-10s and can probably help you with this one.

Good luck with it and thanks again for joining the crew here! Let us know how it goes!

Thanks,
John
