dropped4doorblaze · 10-28-2008, 12:43 AM

zaksturbo · 11-13-2008, 02:43 PM

Bootylicious · 11-13-2008, 08:37 PM

that orange one with the esco lights looks stupid as hell

crows10 · 11-13-2008, 08:58 PM

I know people have seen it on here but I thought I would post it

DISFIGUREDS10 · 11-14-2008, 08:07 PM

My homemade tb front.

dustin_shull · 11-14-2008, 11:01 PM

Here is a pretty interesting conversion, a customer of mine hit a bear (of all things) with his SS Silverado and is now working on putting a 08 escalade front end on it. Looks pretty cool, it's getting ready for paint this week. He shaved the tailgate,stake pockets and is straighting the side moldings. He has everything working flawless- hood latch,HIDs,etc. Should be pretty cool when its done.

ih8hyts · 11-15-2008, 01:59 AM

^^ that looks interesting.

workin on a sectioned fullsize bumper as we speak. couldn't decide on the valance before paint, so it stayed black.

Redsdime · 11-16-2008, 12:40 AM

dropped4doorblaze · 11-16-2008, 01:16 AM

cpolaris502 · 11-16-2008, 02:58 AM

i just noticed minor gaps in the fender the hood area near the grill is ok but damn he said home made so i think it looks good and apparently so does johnny O since he is taking pictures of it for a mag

DISFIGUREDS10 · 11-16-2008, 10:28 PM

Yeah, its not perfect. But it was my first attemp at sheetmetal fab, 3 yrs ago. And I built it myself. There weren't 100 others to look at then. Its not worth redoing at this point there are a million of em. But I've seen a lot worse.lol...no hard feelings

TA^Guy · 11-16-2008, 10:38 PM

In a check out line today, saw this in a WantAd and thought I'd share... Yeah I know it's no S10. But 'interesting' to say the least.

leadsled2020 · 11-18-2008, 02:21 AM

I know it's not an s10.... but I had a hand in putting this one together
it's a longbed, crewcab toyota with a jeep liberty front end

this guy is the St. Louis chapter president of <Severed Ties>
this is his daily dragger/towpig has the caddy clip

And I know that this one is a repost but I figured you could all see a diff. angle

this is the interior

sorry to whore the thread

DISFIGUREDS10 · 11-18-2008, 01:51 PM

Hard to tell on my phone, but that blazer looks like it was done a lot like mine...or mine like that blazer either way they seem similar..

ih8hyts · 11-18-2008, 07:34 PM

i LOVE the jeep liberty conversion. except the hood.

leadsled2020 · 11-18-2008, 10:31 PM

yeah the hood looks like shit.... but he's had that hood like that for 6 or 7 yrs... he had his heart set on it..... but it's so big b/c he has a 7" bodydrop..... I didn't work on the whole truck..... just the front end

leadsled2020 · 11-18-2008, 10:33 PM

TA^Guy · 11-19-2008, 02:12 AM

too crazy when you look at how small the rear wheel arch is. It's amost like older Ford Rangers and their small arches.

DISFIGUREDS10 · 11-19-2008, 05:43 PM

Thanks guys, they're mid 90's Altima handles.

He is just saying that the wheel arch is small like on the older rangers. So its not directly comparable to an s10.

Exactally. Just like your avatar, old Rangers always look badass BD and slammed cause they tuck so damn much rubber.

leadsled2020 · 11-22-2008, 12:05 AM

I was thinking of doing the 95-97 blazer grille and composite headlights with HIDs and using the 97 Hombre bumper on my 94 SS...... any thoughts???

towb3 · 11-28-2008, 11:22 PM

I seen the dually 2 weeks ago pull up at home depot. The handles were one of the first things to mention. Not to mention the wheel lug spikes. They are a lot bigger than they look in the pic. lol

yeah those spikes are huge! did you by chance see the <ST> sticker in the rear window? It has the St. Louis skyline in it

Yeah, it was hard to miss the ST sticker in back. It takes up the whole back glass. lol. I didn't catch the St.Louis skyline on the sticker however. hahahaha. I was still shocked at how big the spikes were.

On a side note. I think I am going to go to Raceway tomorrow and try and get a couple of fullsize grills to play around with and see what can be done. I have been searching everywhere to find info on that swap. Not much info, other than possibly sectioning off the width a lil and dropping the bumper a bit. Any input?

kab1822 · 12-10-2008, 11:55 PM

towb3 · 12-11-2008, 12:20 AM
