So I have just "finished" my latest waist of a year.... still have a few bugs to work out but it's running and driving now.... It's now how Chevy should have built it... 02 s10 still 4wd but now with a 5.7 L31 vortec. Swapped envoy front clip and full interior. Just an FYI it appears that all crews are wired for power heated seats.... here is how I found it at the scrape yard.




And he's it as it sets now.

Thank you. I got a lot of shit for lowering a 4wd lol. I just tell every it's a city truck and I live downtown indy so now it's just a "practical" lowered truck... "practical"....:racing:

Looks awesome! I really like the colormatched 'vette wheels.

thanks! That's another issue I argued with people about... first it was "saw blades are ugly". Then once installed everyone dug them. Then I opted to strip them for paint... "do black or flat black" was then next comments... you can't see the wheels "shape" when black (also overplayed) so I didn't want to do it...

How much of a drop is on it? What did you use. My next daily will be a 4x4

Love the look, nice work!

I'm guessing a 4/6... it was 3 inch bell tech keys but I think the V8 made it closer to 4. And the rear is bell tech 3 inch leaf springs. But they're not made for crewcabs. My last Std cab tipped the scales at 3 300 lbs this truck is 5150 lbs be for the v8...

That thing is awesome dude! I love it.

Do the blazer/jimmy/envoy rear seats just bolt in?! If so, that's awesome!

Oh I wish it was that easy..... it's still not 100% I modded the stock blazer seat brackets and had to add a 1/2 spacer to the middle support. Still working on the slider for the bottom seats and rerouting the folding seat cables. It also makes it a bitch to get out to cause the rear seat is a square in the envoys. Where the crews are cut like a Triangle to allow more room for your feet to swing out the door. But hey I'm driving I don't care most likely the only ones back there will be my minions. Ones 2 the others 4 days so I think I'm OK :haha:

You plan on hooking the ac up?

 

[badmatt]

Yeah I'm getting all new stuff this winter and going to buy a custom built condenser for space limitations. It's also has a fairly large trans cooler im working around. I plan to be using this truck like a work truck lol.

I'll get out today and snap a picture of it for you

I will tell you that some people reuse their factory one. I ended up having to buy a universal condenser off ebay and had the factory metal tubes from the orginal condenser tig welded onto the new condenser. the new one isn't as tall and isn't as thick either. It cools better though.
