Nice looking project...And I'm anxious to see how the truck arm suspension turns out...Hotrods from Hell has a S10 kit but it's $$$$$$$....I ended up with Cal-Tracs cause I know they hook but the truck arm deal is cool....

Yeah, I had sticker shock when hotrods gave me the price of the truck arm kit!

My new (came off my crate LS1 for the Avalanche) and newly powder coated valve covers. pictures make them look very dark, looks like a hazy chrome in person.

The plan to use new aftermarket fenders has been scrubbed, they fit like crud! body lines are way off. So the S10 is now sporting Blazer doors and fenders.

After cleaning and buffing one side I'd give the paint condition a 9.5 out of 10. Since this is supposed to be a "budget" project this will probably be the color of the truck, will be cheaper to match the cab and bed VS. a full color change.

After a little research I found a master cylinder to fit my booster that has the lines exiting the left side of the cylinder (stock unit exits on right side)

Centric Parts 130.66044 $41.19 brand new on Amazon.com ;D Deleting the ABS for now on the S10 and using a Wilwood Proportioning Valve from Summit Racing. Depending on how the truck drives I do have all the harnesses and parts to install the stock ABS.

Also purchased from Amazon.com is a Delphi heater core for $13, if you have a prime memberaship it usually pays for itself with all the discounts and free 1 or 2 day shipping.
