Question Colorado LS2

Is the Colorado LS2 in the first post being done by the same fellow that did the yellow S-10 extended cab & sold it on E-bay about a year & half ago?

I was planning on buying an s10 with an LT1 so let me give you some input on a truck swap. It’s a great idea until you drive it! Lol The trucks handling was not intended for the power not to mention the weight distribution was all screwed up and caused the truck to not take a turn worth a damn. I know the LS1 is lighter but it still has to have an impact. I also know you could get parts to improve the suspension but why put all that money into a truck that will never handle like a stock performance car? Just my 2 cents.

btw the manual makes the swap look really hard since he fabs his own parts and stuff, but now you can buy everything needed for the swap.
