Thanks for all the input guys! Just a little update: I have decided to at least go ahead and take the front clip off the white one, and later today I am supposed to show it to a guy who has an LS1 from a Trans AM who may be willing to do some trading. If he doesn't want it, then I will just pull the entire drive-train, take everything good off of it, and probably scrap the remains. I intend to follow thru w/ my dreams, and build my original truck into a Bad-Ass LSX S10. Way I see it, they made all kinds of 4x4's from the factory, but NEVER did make any LS1 V8's! So hopefully I can take some of the body parts from the 4x4 that I need, and use the other good ones to get more of the parts I need. All I gotta do is look at some of my old pics, and watch a few vids on YouTube, I know exactly what I want to do! This:

Yeah I probably will, anymore thought's? I appreciate it guys!

Thanks man. Problem w/ fliping the 4x4 is that I would have to sacrifice the other truck, as I only have the one good cab. But your probably rt, I should do what is gonna make me happy in the end. Thanks, that's how I'm leaning. As for usage plans, mall cruiser all the way. I've been wanting to give that truck an LS1 for a LONG time! And your right, they are super cool! Thanks for the input! Her is what I really want out of it eventually!

That is gonna sound SO good! X pipe make a difference fore real! You will LOVE it!

Ok, so I am going to need a little help from my SMD family to decide what to do. Here is what I have going on: I have 2 S10's, the first is a 1994 2wd Low-rider that I have had for over 10 years. It was a good truck, and I grew really attached to it. It was the first auto I bought and financed on my own, and I got a lot of compliments on the way she looked. It was a 2.2L auto = Low and Slow! But I always had dreams of giving her the V8 she so desperately needed. Here is what she used to look like a few years ago. But after my brother and my ex-wife got thru using it, she got a lil ragged out. My ex blew the engine, so I pulled it out and junked it, making sure it would get no more 4 cylinder engines. I pulled the front clip for easy access, and I'll be damned if someone didn't steal my hood and fenders! So here is how she sets at the moment, a lil rough. So on to the second truck. I bought it recently for parts, namely the front clip. It has a bad cab, and wouldn't run, but everything else is in damn good shape. I got a hell of a deal, couldn't pass it up! But once I got it home, I realized this beast has some potential! It's a 1995 4x4 4.3L auto. And after tinkering w/ it a couple of days, she fires right up! Everything mechanical so far is in good condition! Here is a few shots of it. BTW the wires were just used to get it home. So now I am a little unsure of what to do. My intentions were to simply pull off the front clip, and sell what parts I could, then scrap the rest. But now that it runs(runs good too!), my friends are telling me that I'd be crazy not to just "swap cabs" and paint it up, and have myself a decent 4x4 S10. And that's fine. But I really had my heart set on an LS1 V8 low-rider blow-thru.... What to do, what to do? All help and opinions are greatly appreciated!!!

What is wrong w/ walling at the B pillar?

I like #1 the best! 4 18's on 36K and he still has his bed!

Not bad, not too bad at all!

Thread locked yet? EDIT: Hmm, guess not. Will be soon I bet!

"had" one there? am i missing something? are YOU missing something? where did it go? Lol! That's what I was wondering too!

Man you dont want that. You can do a lot better.

No doubt! Imma have to try it now, what the hell!

Yeah I'm just wondering what kind of truck is it going in?

When you say "had both", r u sayin u had a virgin and a girlfriend? Or a girlfriend and a brown light bulb? Lol!

My thoughts are pretty much the same as yours. Except I am a die hard Mavs fan, so I did kinda expect / hope for this from them. But over the past year, I became a Heat fan as well. I can't help but to like anyone who gives up money and fame, to get a ring. So I say Go Heat and go Mavs, and hopefully we can have an NBA finals rematch! Boy the Heat have their hands full w/ Chicago, wheew!

Lol! Wow the things we do w/ idol time!

This is so often overlooked.

I'd say you owe her one. I'd make it a good one, scare her half to death!

As long as your friends are experienced, meaning you have seen their work and it looked good, then go for it. Just be prepared.

Damn 10 mill, that's big!

You just learned a valuable lesson: Sometimes less is better! Less clipping = more jamming!

Damn bro that is sick!!! Gotta love that flex!

IMO - When it costs about the same as a good AGM! Man honestly I'd listen to the others, and do a 14v or 16v setup before I spent the money on the Lithium. Personally, I will probably be doing the 14v setup my next go-round. Anyway, about the Lithium batt you are referring to, do you have a link to it? I'd like to read more about it, anyway!

That is nice! Should do the Eclipse up rt! Hey what would it take to get you to do a design? I like your work!
