A tube frame box S-10 sounds like a blast!! AWD too? Powerplant? front drive system? Cool project and WELCOME!!

Just in the design phase now. It's my first full blown build, I've built a few racing lawnmowers and a couple of vehicles but they are mainly bolt-on kinda builds. Current truck is a static dropped rcsb Sierra, 5.3 with a cam, converter, gears, tube a-arms and big hotchkis sway bars, QA1 double adjustable shocks and billets. I wanted something a little wilder and something that I can run hill climb's, targa and lap days with.



It's a 92 rcsb dime. I'm currently working on the front suspension design now. Rear will be 3 link with a narrowed 8.8. I'm planning on using a f-150 8.8 IFS front axle assembly. They are psychically smaller then the GM equivalent and should be up to the task, but I'm also considering using a 188mm BMW front diff. I'm planning on using a GM 5 speed and a TBSS transfer case. The plan is an aluminum LS, not sure on displacement yet, or possibly an inline turbo 4cyl.

Welcome! Any pictures? I am also building a s10 and thought about going awd but decided c5 would fit me best.

Just a roller in the corner at the moment. Need to finalize the chassis in CAD then order some tube !
