its a big work in progress. getting stock floored to the rockers and building the 4.3 for 300 horse N/A and a 100 shot. yes its definately the opposite of this forum's choice of height. but whatever, i like it. i usually cruise around s10forum.com

basically the plans are to make it a reliable daily with some performance minded modifications to improve the power and fuel economy and also to give it a slightly lower stance. since options are limited for lowering the front, i was actually thinking of doing away with the torsion bar setup and bagging the front but not run any air management (compressors, valves, etc) and just set the pressure (ride height) externally via schraeder valves like an air shock.

 a small stereo will be a necessity so i dont go insane either. some mtx 6.5" speakers in the doors, a pair of 8" RE subwoofers behind the seats in a custom ported box(1cubic foot common chamber slot ported to 32hz), alpine cda-9856 for cd and ipod capability, mtx amplifiers for the subs and speakers, all wiring from Knukonceptz.com.

new carpet and re-cover the seats. i'm hoping there isnt any rot under the vinyl floor.... if there is i will cut out the affected areas and patch them up with new sheetmetal then probably coat the inside of the cab with POR-15 or some sort of truck bed liner for durability and rustproofing.

so yeah the typical gearhead in me is not gonna let the beater be stock for long...... :dunce:
