[bodybag]

hi guy and gals iam chris. i am building a 89 s10 that is baged and bodydroped with a 2007 colorado front clip grafted on. i will get pics up soon. i am here cause i just bought a 95 mark viii irs for my new stock floor body drop.

iam build a new frame from the firewall back. iam an areospace cnc machinest. at a mold shop (contract work). i've been welding for about 8 years, tig and mig, steel, alu.

i am here to see if i can get some info on building my mark viii irs to run great on the street. this truck is not a race truck and never will be just a street truck. the motor is a 95 lt1 and 5 speed nv3500.

i need info on CG, IC, roll center proper camber for the street.

welcome to the forum and happy holidays nice project you have there

I have done a couple of v8 s10's including a lt1 95 s10 but i have never thought about using a colorado front clip. Good to see something different. One thing to think about that I wish i would have with my s10 is I kept thinking i should have went with a LS engine b/c they are just a step ahead in every aspect
