Default New guy from Ontario.

What's up, guys? My name is Jeff, I'm a licensed GM tech in Southwestern Ontario and had I stumbled upon this site earlier, I would've been here years ago. I'm 25 and on my 3rd S10, I also own a 1952 GMC that has barely been touched so far.

I consider myself an all around enthusiast, I like to take ideas from all aspects of the automotive world and try to keep out of the box as often as possible.

My daily for the last couple years has been a '98 S10. I bought it with intentions of lowering it and calling it quits with modification after that, but we all know how that goes.

I blew up the stock 4.3 spring 2013 doing burnouts and it's pretty much been downhill ever since. We 4-linked it shortly after the 5.7L L31 went in, along with a fuel cell, front QA1's and tubular upper and lower control arms. I run a very aggressively offsetted set of wheels with -4* of camber up front.

The current engine, transmission, rear-end and frame are all being junked. We are planning a full tube frame this winter with a stock floor body drop, which will allow me to raise my frame to ground clearance while still having the truck look as low as it does now. The drivetrain will consist of an LSx based engine (to be determined), a T-56 and a Ford 9" which I already possess.

Here's the truck, albeit, it is definitely not for everyone, but it is a great conversation piece, and people love the ugly duckling thing it has going for it.
