It is 26* here so I didn't stay outside too long. I did get the side S-10 badges removed.

Before:




After:






The hunt for new wheels gets a little more aggressive, I sold the wheels and tires to my dad for his S-10. I will use his old ones until I get what I want. There not much to look at but I can still drive it.

I also located a 6.0L longblock...it's in my buddys garage. He said he will let me know what he wants for it come monday. I also located a LS6 intake with injectors, rails, TB, MAF, and Trany cooler. I'll post pics when I go pick them up.

Good luck! I always wanted to do this to my 97 S10.

Be warned...6.0's love to eat 4L60e's for dinner.

Found a pair of rear wheels for the truck (18" x10.5") and decided to set them up next to the stockers to see how they would look. Tell me what you think



Oh yeah and I picked up this stuff too :

If you are going for a sleeper look, these might mess that up. Otherwise, they are 1000x better than the stockers. Your truck is a paw-paw color. You'll surprise many a Mustang/Camaro at stop lights if you keep the sleeper look.
