      Marty's truck should be about ready for paint or in paint now. It was on hold while a couple of SEMA projects was finished. To get his stance and be driveable you are gonna have drop some $$$ to get it done right. He has built this truck right and hasn't overlooked a single detail building it. Marty is a cool guy, most the entire build is on this site somewhere.

      thanks ive got the stance right in the front you can see in pics the rear in pics is still with leaves and a 3 inch blk...i have a four link setup that will be installed as soon as the body shop has the sheetmetal off the frame...its a setup for bags but the kit didnt already have the bag mounts in place so its perfect for me cause ill use some coilovers...with the coilovers in front and rear i should be able to get the height and ride i want...just dont know what yet to do about the rear sway bar...maybe a watts link?!?!

      thanks for the info and thanks again for the welcome ..from what i see so far you boys (and gals) are a friendly bunch!

      Update!

      So after posting the prices of my wares...I was told that was a no-no and after a few months of getting over my butt hurt..lol...Im back and with a new project. Starting on Project "Devil Inside"....

      The first pick is of the truck when I bought it....550 bux and drove it home...200k plus and runs great.

      The second pic is after installing the new composite leaves and blocks....

      The third is after the front springs/spindles/uca's and shocks were installed...

      With better bushings and relocating the upper shock mounts in the rear it is starting to turn much better...

      As of now I have some 88 ish z28 15's on it...and under hard cornering they rub the spindles in front...

      As for anyone building an s10...c5 wheels do not directly bolt on..it takes spacers and some fender rolling to make it happen.

      Correction...the pics of the front are after the uca's and springs and it sat too high so I did the spindles too.

      *update*

      Here is a few more pics after the Z28 wheels and the drop spindles.

      Im gonna move this to the update section as we are about to start on the rear end swap/4 link kit and some wheels.

      I dont wanna give too much away....but the rear isnt the normal 9 inch swap....and the motor to come??...I guarantee its "outside the box"!

      Well, even more updates....Ive since sold the s10 (made some good dough on that one) and re-bought the 85 Monte back. Its it good but bad shape, meaning its beat up but not rusty. Its actually a 68k mile car but its been aggregiously neglected...sooo here it is...Project "sickneSS"
