Kind of a rat rod but you don't see an LS1 in a rat very often.

Just thought I would post up some pics and vids... I used this board quite a bit for wiring help, my way of saying thanks...

Very cool pick-em-up truck!!
Looks like it's pretty smooth on the road as well. Love the way those wheels look. What kind of wheels are they?

Just checked out your build thread, and those before pics are bad ***! Oh, and now I know what the sign on the door is.

Can you give me anymore info on the frame mods ? I am working with a 38 Ford pickup and plan on the S10 frame. Did you narrow the frame at the front kickouts or did you modify your cab ? pics would be great robsrods@hotmail.com

That build is SWEET AS HELL, as well as being VERY close to what I have planned for my next project (older body on a relatively-recent truck frame, LS-powered, etc.). I'm hoping like hell that the OP isn't gone...
