Hmmm, silver truck = blue calipers. Guess on my future blue truck I need silver calipers eh.



What is your brake setup? Std. C5, C5 ZO6....

I'd say you should still go with Blue.

And mine were just C5 straight up. I got on ebay and found some cheap rotors for under $100 shipped. Hopefully they'll last!

Yeah, I love 'em too. But my FIRST choice was the older SS wheels -the five-spoke ones that also came on Vette's. I just want the 17x11's out back!!!

I'm excited - just need to get this thing aligned then I'm gonna be out there terrorizing the streets of Atlanta!!!

This is a great thread. Thanks HectorM52, for sharing with us!

You're definitely inspiring me to do something similar with my own truck.

I have a request though... once you're done with the front and have some miles under your belt, can you post some info about anything you would have done differently... assuming you were going to do it all over again?

I think this would be very helpful for future s-truck owners. Although your build has gone fairly smoothly, it seems there are maybe a few hiccups so far... things that maybe you would do a bit different the 2nd time around.

Thanks! Can't wait for more of your driving feedback!

Looks great, well done

(had to post so I can have it subscribed so I can reference back ;) )

Great build......I would love to see more S-10's on this forum.

[ArtosDracon]

Lol, I don't know if anyone has heard from Hector for a while, was a killer build though.

[dusterbd13]

adams still around. hes currently making the truck nice. he's over o s-seriesforum.

and if you search s10 on here, theres a few of us running them.

[HectorM52]

Oh, I'm still around. Just more driving and less building. That's the way it should be, right?!?!

I think lack of money has helped with the lack of further progress. Or hindered, depending on how you look at it.

Hector the truck looks awesome.

Makes me want to build another Sonoma GT

[HectorM52]

Thanks, Marty. Your truck has inspired me in so many ways. I'm glad I've been able to watch it for the past few years. But you still have to spill the beans on that mesh you guys used for the grille. I need that mesh!!

Thank you very much

As for the Grille I am shipping the bucks over to Tommy and he is going to try to make them. The mesh is actually from a giant coffee grinder machine. We kinda borrowed it.

Hey Hector, glad to see the truck is being abused, I've read your build a couple of times while planning mine, truck still looks great!

Your truck looks great w/ the wheel flairs on it- really gives it a more "finished" look, if you will.
I like it!

[HectorM52]

Thanks guys. I've enjoyed working on it and now I'm enjoying driving it!!!

Though I'm currently not happy with the hood or the grille. Those will be under the paint gun again soon...
