Re: Bodydropped 99 s-10/hombre

So I went back and talked to a guy at the junkyards about that Hombre sheet metal... ended up paying $600 for the bed, tail gate, tail lights, rear bumper, hood, fenders, grille, front bumper, headlights, and core support

Thats a good deal there. Very cheap since the parts can barely be found. Be sure to send me a link to the thread or some pics

So got a couple of questions. How much tranny fluid do the 5 speeds take? And where does everyone put their temp probes for the fan controler? I've got mine shoved in the wrap stuff around the upper tube goin into the rad?

Re: Bodydropped 99 s-10/hombre

whats your setup as far as valve size and line size. I like the speed your lifting and droppin at.

looks killer btw. I was hoping to see you drag the ass out of the picture in the last vid.

Re: Bodydropped 99 s-10/hombre

Yeah I didnt relieze it got that close until I watched the vid, I was like o shit. I try and avoid it in this thing when possible since its all molded.

Valves and lines are all 1/2", but I'm just taping the switches most of the time to drop it and I have drilled out plugs in the drop valves to even it out and slow it way down. To lift I have to shot a little air to it so I dont dig either the front or rear into the ground, kinda a pain in the ass

Re: Bodydropped 99 s-10/hombre

Well I screwed up leaving SOL 3 this weekend and about took off my cali combo, and caved in the drivers bed side, all after I hit the link bars on Jakes lifted fullsize. It was a very shitty weekend for the truck, but I did take home a top 20 mig.











Dont know if i'm goin to repair it, rebuild it, or still trade it off. It really sucks cause I had a trade worked out with a killer blazer.

Re: Bodydropped 99 s-10/hombre

Well the guy with the blazer is still considering the trade, so if he still wants it i'll trade it off as is. If he doesnt want it anymore i'm goin to take the bed off and run it for awhile while I fix up another bed. If you seen how much filler was in just the bed corner you woudl know why I opting for a new bed. But i'm also goin to go through and just redo alot fo the truck.

If you use an S-10 bed, are you going to extend the wheel lips on your front fenders so they will match the bed?

Re: Bodydropped 99 s-10/hombre

Well I've had it for sale for awhile now, before I screwed up the cali combo. I just want to start something that I did, gets kinda old having to explain the history of the truck I didnt build, even tho I fixed alot of stuff, people still see the flashy stuff I didnt do. Then i'm tryin to get away from the 5 speeds, had a few foot surgerys back in the day, and it dont like the clutch. Lastly I want anotehr ex-cab like my 1st s-10 was.

Re: Bodydropped 99 s-10/hombre

haha, yeah that got me pretty ticked, casue that friday night I had worked out a trade with a nice blazer from tenn I think. I was goin to meet him the next weekend. Then I hit those link bars and was pissed. I called with guy with the blazer and explained, he was still all for it. Then the next day I damn new take off the cali combo, so I had to call him again, he didnt take it after that haha.

Were you at the show? My pics arn't on this comp so I cant run though them to see if I got your truck.
