Bodydropped 99 s-10/hombre

[PowerDown]

nice, and don't paint them blue. the black with the skinny white wall makes it look mean. i plan on getting blue ones for my white s10... eventually... probably will be a while.

[ridinon20z]

sweet ass truck man .. i love the color its badass

[quote=What are you talkin about the tranny tunnel in the seat?[/quote]

When i put my seat in the middle of the seat is resting on the tranny tunnel. So if i want to lower the seat im going to have to cut the seat out for the tranny area, and the brackets.

[slonlow2000]

Thanks guys, and i'll prolly leave them black, they look good on there.

dimeon15's- Wouldnt that make the seat just fold in half? I havnt seen the underside of one so i'm guessin theres more supports that are left after it would be trimmed?

[Myst]

hey can I ask where u got the whitewalls or did they come with the truck

[slonlow2000]

No I got them after I got the truck, but i got to head to work and the trucks back home in the garage, i'm up at school. I'll call home and ask someone to go and see what ey were and let ya know.

[Myst]

yea no biggie whenever u got time thats cool ...thanks man ...if u remember a price or place u got them ...gracias

[dimeon15s]

Ill show you mine after im done...almost

[Layn Dime]

sick truck, im starting to like the hombre beds alot more everyday.

[slonlow2000]

Yeah I just got off so i'll try and get that stuff tomorrow, it was at a plaza tire I remember that much I walked in and said I needed the fatest white wall in a 205-75-15 I think and they looked threw the window at my fullsize I have 20's on then back at me with a weird look haha

Edit: Thanks layin dime, i'm kinda lookin around for another bed to redo this one, the bodydrop on it was done kinda half assed and was over drop on one side and I've got alot of washers in one side. Then the whole bed floor was shifted to the driver side so I cant align it not and the bed mounts are already slotted on the frame so its kinda screwed looks badass until you crawl under it

[01cherryreds10]

I'd love to see the Hombre sheetmetal with an Envoy front end. The truck is awesome

[slonlow2000]

That was the 1st owners plan, he had a rendering of what he wanted and it had the envoy front end, but a shop screwed it up or something so he pulled it out of there and did the work himself

[dimeon15s]

Every time i see the truck i want it more. I might paint mine blue now.

[slonlow2000]

Put the long bed on yours with the new backhalf and i'll trade ya haha

[dimeon15s]

I dont know about that lol, but I cant wait till its done. Truck is ripped apart and ordering steel Friday.

[dimeon15s]

I might trade..... no.....maybe.....damnit i want yo truck homie!

[slonlow2000]

haha right on man, yeah I was more jokin around than serious there, there will be alot more work into yours. I'm bringin mine up to school in a few weeks to start some more work on it so hopfully i'll have it out and running good before winter hits.

[dimeon15s]

You driving it this winter?

[slonlow2000]

no, just hoping I can have it out of school and drive it a little while before it goes back into the garage, doubt that thing would live through a winter, no heat would suck ass

[BONDO]

badass man badass

[slonlow2000]

Thanks one more leak to find and it will stayed up for at least 2 weeks, my fam came up to school today for family day, which might as well be a free day, and he said only the front pass side leaked off so i'm sure I missed a quick connect some where. Its been like a week and a half so I was impressed, since before the whole truck was down in a night and the tank pressure was gone in 2

[dimeon15s]

Damn thats good. Mine stays up for a week or so, but hold 200psi for a few days. I took my tank off today and there was like 1/2 gal of water in it. That sux. Truck is gutted and parts are on the way.

[slonlow2000]

Yeah Mines got the 2 5 gallon stainless tanks that are probably full of water at least they wont rust haha

[dawgnutz]

That's a sic assed truck man! Makes me want to build an Isuzu!

[98layinframe]

sorry to ask again if someone else aready did or not.... but did you buy that truck off a guy here in the pittsburgh pa area? It was listed for sale here on craigslist awhile back and i was seriously considering buying it.. just didnt have the cash at the time and didnt like the reverse 4 link setup

[FCKNLOW]

you got any pics of how you mounted the air gauges?

[slonlow2000]

Thanks guys, I bought it off of here, it was in Iowa when I got it, and I know it was in tenn when it was built, then it was stock in Va. Not sure if it was ever in PA.

The guages I just took the HVAC controls apart and drilled out 2 inch holes in the face plate. Wasnt to bad since I dont have heat or ac anymore.

[ih8hyts]

your truck gives me boners.

[slonlow2000]

you have more than one, sweet shit haha

[FCKNLOW]

i might have to grab another stock one to do that,,,bc im tryin to keep my heat

[slonlow2000]

Yeah I did it with just a piece of dimond plate in my old s-10 then I moved the hvac to the glovebox. But it never fit flush aginst the dash bezel like it does now. i'll see if I can find some pics

[slonlow2000]

Now I know the floor mats are gay, but it was awhile back and my parents bought them cause they were blue like the truck so I rocked them

[FCKNLOW]

yea thats kinda how i want to do mine but i got 3 guages...

[slonlow2000]

the 3 fit fine, just like mine are now, I just didnt have a tank pressure guage in that truck

[AmosM823]

Dude thats a cool lookin little truck!

[slonlow2000]

Thanks man

[dimeon15s]

Any more updates?

[slonlow2000]

unfortunatly not yet i'm hopfully diggin it out this weekend to take to a car show. Then i'm bringin it up here to school to rebuild the tranny, and i'll be switchin to some SD control amrs and hopfully a tilt wheel and bench seat. I found someone to trailer it up here so I just gotta wait for the ok on the teacher, i'm like 3 hours away from it now tho.

[Gimp]

i thought this thing was a stick? now its a auto?

[dimeon15s]

Says up there ^ thats those are pics of his old s10, he was just showing how he did his gauges to FCKNLOW.

[slonlow2000]

Thanks for coverin that one, and he right, wish it was an auto then I would be driving the hell out of it, but I gotta rebuild the tranny here in a few weeks

[purevil115]

whats up with the tranny

[slonlow2000]

Well when I bought it I knew it needed a new throw out bearing I think it is, but when I get it up to school i'm goin to replace everything I can so I dont have to mess with it for awhile. When its in nutral or the clutch is pushed in its fine, but while moving in gear is makes sounds like metal on metal almost grinding. I know almost nothing about them and i'm goin to school for autobody, but we take classes covering other stuff so we're well rounded for the workin world. So in that other class the teacher is goin to help be rebuild it, which I thought was pretty cool

[powdercoater]

lookin good man i like that color

[slonlow2000]

I finally took it out to a small local car show cause some guys in my chapter of Vertically challenged were coming down and wanted to see it and got rocked by a 1 static truck and a stock truck, pics are loadin up in photobucket

[slonlow2000]

Well heres a couple pics of it out of my yard haha, I added the bowtie for the show, and painted the scratched up intake but I didnt get anymore under the hood pics





Heres the truck that took 3rd in the class, a buddy of mine which makes it worse.





He took 3rd, and 80's something truck took 2nd which was really nice, and a ranger that I didnt take pics of cause it pissed me off took 1st, it had 3 wings, and vynils of lightining and spiders, blankets for upulstry, and lights all over. A auto zone special. I didnt get a damn thing and it was modified truck 1971-present haha

[coloRADo_S10]

I wanna see a close up of the emblem. It looks sick!

Do something with those 357 shells too.

[slonlow2000]

Thats as close as I got wasnt really thinkin about it haha, I might take some more of the black off tho. I've been thinkin about the shells havnt got anything yet, I have a rocker switch box or I would make them switch extensions

[coloRADo_S10]

sweet!

[powdercoater]

Thats is missouri local car shows at it finest, that happens all the time up here...it gayer than aids
