Well this is going to be for my 94 s-10. To start off this truck is going to be 85% custom frame. Meaning that the only part left of the stock frame is the control arm mounts and the engine cross-member. I’m going to be using an 87 corvette rear-end and throwing a SBC in too.
what i'm shotting for::
 

<strong>Well let get to some picture</strong>




<strong>start of the new ralls:</strong>







<strong>stock to new rails transition:</strong>
