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.

That truck sits perfect.
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
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...
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:
Thanks for all your help/info with the swap dude!!!
not a problem. Glad I could help.

You plan on hooking the ac up?
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.
Could you maybe post a picture of how much leg room there is. Just for future...project/reference...lol.
I'll get out today and snap a picture of it for you

More pics! Truck looks sick!
New 5.7 .030 over. Decked heads and block to raise compression.

Fully stripped the interior and installed 2 boxes (18 sheets) of stinger road killer sound deadening material to the firewall, floor, roof, back cab wall......



Ditched the chevy front end for an envoys I found at the yard.

I love it man! Plan to just cruise it from here on out or is bags in the future thoughts?? I know its 4wd now but is it staying that way?
This truck is not going to be bagged. I'm going to keep it 4wd until I have major problems with it lol. My other crew cab is being bagged currently. So this will serve as the tow pig for it when it's finished .
