Thanks. If i can find some 4" fogs that look a little more factory, those are coming out. I'm going to work on the rollpan tomorrow and next weekend, we're going to try to finish up some of the wiring and get it started.

Update: The truck runs now!
-installed clear corner signals
-installed clear bumper signals
-installed h4 headlight conversion
-installed black headlight bezels to match the grille
-did more wiring
-got the hood lined up correctly (@TI25, without getting my face cut open again)

Getting there, slowly but surely.

Updates:
Got some belltech nitro-active shocks coming in, along with red euro tail lights. I also picked up some powered leather seats out of a bravada, an overhead console, and an 8.5" posi rear end with disc brakes.
The rear end...work in progress...

Seats look great in the truck.

Seats look awesome! Love the overhead! That's gonna be a nice upgrade once fitted, you got the homelink right? Gonna throw a screen into one of those compartments?

That console has the homelink. I need to go back to the junkyard next weekend and grab more wiring off of the donor. The original owner had a big map light thing that looked severely ghetto, bolted to the headliner. I just wanted something better looking. TV in the compartment??? Pffft...not unless i find one on the junkyard =P

Truck looks good keep up the good work.All i would do is the door jams and make it flat black.

More progress. Nice :nod:

Like the sticker on the Silverado.

really good move upgrading to disc brakes, hydraulic brakes are a real PITA

nice truck! you should leave it matte black IMO

@winner. Disc and drum brakes are both hydraulic? O_o Have you been talking to Blade?

What is that supposed to mean...?:cry:

I don't think I had said that..?

And on a side note, drums also come in air also.:lol:

It's looking good Jaime, keep it going eh?

- Robbie ; Disc's and Drums both use hydraulic fluid(DOT3 only.) from the MC, to compress and push the pistons in both the caliper, and drum. Only difference, the caliper only pushes one pad, and when it is pushing that pad the caliper moves in towards the vehicle allowing the other pad to touch the rotor.

A drum brake pushes both, front and rear shoe against the drum.

How did you setup your parking brake on it there Jaime?

-Edit ;

You should just get the rear disc conversion kit;) comes with everything you need, and seeing at the Gen.1 S10's already have a hydraulic braking system you don't have to change out your master at all.

I didn't say anything about the disc's not being hydraulic lol. Also, on that I was refering it to Air-Brake and DOT3 Hydraulic Fluid braking systems. Not mechanical.

@Blade you got trolololed, bruh

Bawlz! I git dey trawld?

All you get is a .... '-.-' face! Pewtew pewtew!

I've been working on getting the body straight so I can shoot it one color. I got the seats hooked up and soon enough, I'll be fiberglassing the headliner and the dash.

Be sure to use extra hardener, I hear a 50/50 mix is best.
