INTEGRITY =can't be bought, can't be sold! Thank you Bill sr. For not being a sellout to Anyone or any business that doesn't support our American way of life. Some others need to take notice before they sellout to that ALL MIGHTY$ THANK YOU AGAIN, GOD BLESS
Ain’t no secret anymore ole man 😂 I’m glad you’s aren’t that crew that hides all their juicy information. Give a man a fish you will feed him for a day , teach a man how to fish and you will feed him for a life time.
Billy's nickname should be no lift. That young man has very strong driving skills. However his fabrication judgment is a little less desirable. Please talk to him about those upper A arms dad.
I'm located in Ohio, I'm a paraplegic and I am trying to finish my s10. I've been following for a while now and it's been great seeing how Billy has the truck setup. Thanks for that. Answered alot of questions I had with suspension. Thanks! Hope to see yall sometime next year. Eventually I'll have my truck back together.
Hi ! Trigg3rhappy Im interested in knowing what type of hand controls you are using in your s-10 for adventure i have never built a drag car but it has been a dream and love of mine all my life and last year was a year for me to go for it Where have you put your nitrous and trans break buttons Hope every thing you do is a sucess and lots wins
Hey man!! How’s your truck coming along? It’s been almost a year since your comment and was curious if your getting close to having it going? I hope and pray that your doing well buddy and can’t wait for ya to be driving it again! Take care and be safe out there!! There’s a bunch of us pulling for ya!!
I did get my truck going. Only video I have is on my channel. I plan on putting something together later in a few weeks explaining my setup. I drove it to work yesterday for the first time and it's been running amazing.
I have a s10 and I greatly appreciate all the info you give out. Just because you may not be "educated" doesn't mean you're not smart. You're educated from experience and it shows.
Well thank you Bill it is a great pleasure to hear the passion in your descriptions of what you and Billy have going on with the S10, always look forward to the next tech talk.
This is probably one of the most informative videos for street racing on CZcams right now. I love how you guys are so open with all of your tricks and techniques and still put a whooping on everyone else keeping their cars a secret! Keep up the great content!
The beautiful thing you guys have is the bond you share for the world to experience....Much love between you and Billy. Good job on the truck but mostly good job on the bond you graciously share. Wish you guys all the luck in the world. Your combined hard work is paying off.
Thanks 'ol Dad for this video. You're willingness to share with the World your tricks 'n tips how you've got 'Th3 Kid' s suspension set up is commendable. I'm betting your "How we do it" videos are helping literally hundreds, perhaps THOUSANDS of street and strip hotrod builders. We hope all of them THANK YOU by saying so on your channels. You're doing an outstanding job putting these videos together and YES, you're alot smarter than you're willing to give yourself credit.
Awesome video, , been following/watching your son's for a long time but this is really my speed. I've always enjoyed working on cars/trucks.. crap... It's what I do for a living. I really appreciate what you guys do !! Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Bill !!! I just started on my S-10 build and really have been learning a lot from you !!! I much better understand how to set my truck up now without wasting a bunch of money !!! Thanks and GOD bless y’all!!!
Thank you, even though I do not street or track race, I loved watching this because it has helped me understand a lot more and about how much goes into all of this. I am sure you have just shown us a small amount of what all goes into producing a quality race car/truck.
I’ve followed you and billy for about 6-7 years now. Found you guys on Instagram back then and I had a sbc s10 then. I can say I’ve learnt so many things from you both. Thank you for making these awesome videos. My pops is passed away and seeing you teaching and entertaining us makes me reminisce on the memories with my pops. Hope to meet you both soon, drove to the 828 cash days at wilkesboro with a buddy to meet y’all but y’all was super busy and we didn’t want to bother.
Thanks ol man. Love your videos it helps so much. I have a 87 starting to do some stuff to. An I could listen to you all night. So wish I lived closer an knew half of what you know. So thanks again for taking the time to talk to use an not make me feel stupid lol. Much love an stay safe!!
I swear I have been on the other side of the lowering spindle argument. Seeing the truck at full extension, the light bulb went off. Thank you for all you share! I was one asking for this content, and it's very much appreciated. I hope you continue with it, and tire explanation! You and your family are amazing!
Great video Bill. Enjoyed the tech tips. Dad was a gear head drag racer. Learned from him if you don't have your chassis and suspension setup properly then it's pointless to put a high HP motor in your vehicle. Y'all be safe and god bless!
Love watching your videos. This is becoming my favorite channel. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience and for making it so easy to understand. You keep commenting on how surprised you are regarding the interest in your channel, it's because you are real, your humility and kindness make people want to watch. Thanks again, and please keep it going.
Thanks bill , great lessons I have been a auto tech for years and you explained it in the way my mentor taught me . This is so very important if you save even one thing for someone trying hard then it's worth it all . Thank you e your time and consideration on this subject ! 👍 Keep a thrashing brother !
Thanks I have a 77 nova front clip on my 57 ford truck 4 link rear end I was looking to drop spindle on the front glad I watched your video on the front end thanks for the info and your doing a great job on the videos.
Great video once again. I got a 76 Vega I bracket race and nmca race. Lots of Vega guys run S-10 front suspension parts it’s compatible with all the H-body stuff. I don’t yet cause I had strange do some work on my stock spindles but it was nice to get a look underneath the truck.
The look on your face after showing the upper control arm is priceless. I laughed out loud . My dad would give me that same look too many times and it brought back memories. On another note, I have a 2000 s10 ext. that came with lowering spindles and lowering rear springs 😞 and a 383/700r4/3500 w/lock up. I replaced rear with a 8.6 and cal tracs-373 gear. Run 375 nittos and Calvert shocks. It runs 12:50’s all day and gets 19 mpg on highway with a/c. I consider it acceptable for what I’m doing with it but you are absolutely correct about all the things you talked about. I’m 60 yrs old now but back in my bracket racing days I had a 78 Camaro that I set up almost exactly what you described except no sway bar in rear. I won lots of races because it was ultra consistent. Great info for anybody looking to hook pavement hard. Love all the videos you and your son put out and wish your wife a speedy recovery.
You guys are doing well and doing it right. I had a 1985 GMC S-15 we did just about what you did at the beginning but in the end it was a full tube chassis truck. And I fully agree with your comment of only one change at a time. When we moved out of the stock frame and suspension we had to log every change. And your comment about it doesn't cost much to make them fast is very correct. Once we moved to the tube chassis the costs got to the point we just couldn't keep up with the costs, so we sold it and I moved to Ohio. But watching you and Billy I'm kinda thinking it maybe time to look at putting another one together to play on this no prep stuff. Wish you guys all the luck and if you ever need a hand just let me know. I live just up the road from you guys.
Thanks for all the tricks and tips you put out there. Not sure how much this will transfer to a 64 f100 with a solid axle but I’m not looking to have a street/no prep monster either. Keep dropping the Old Man wisdom and shooting these awesome videos for us. I haven’t missed a single one and really love watching you and your family work and race together
Your doing an awesome job with both boys and with the channel,, I can't get enough of it, I love the simplicity or nostalgic "ol skool" vibe, just keep doing what your doing
Thanks for explaining the suspension mods buddy, I have followed you all for a couple years now and I never get tired of learning. good luck and Gods speed my friend!!!!!
awesome! Thank you for ideas and knowledge that translates not only to other s10's but you see happening with tons of other vehicle platforms as well! awesome information
I ready do appreciate the time that you take to do the videos I don’t have a s-10 I have a Mustang but I do love the content that you ,Billy,and Molly bring hands down
Thanks for the tips and you may have a hard time explaining things but you obviously know what you’re talking about and will definitely be helpful thanks again for the walk through. You guys are awesome.
you are the real deal,and everything you said was clear,intelligent and easy to understand. thanks for honesty and thanks for not ramming products like an infomercial down everyone's throats. lots of excellent information you did not have to share but you were gracious enough to do.we thank you.
Great info!! I've had my S-10 for 25yrs and it's been sitting for the last 15yrs. I've doin research as I'm getting ready to get back into it. Appreciate the info and video!! Stay safe!
Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I have s10 race truck goals, so this type of video is awesome. Saw you guys in WV last week at Southside Dragway. Every car you brought hooked up and went straight down the track. You obviously got this suspension thing figured out. Thanks again.
These videos mean so much to me. My family is not into racing. I have just recently found a mentor with an s10 but he’s a bracket race guy lol. No prep street is the way I’ve always wanted to do it. The internet is where I get all my information from. Currently deployed but I’m soaking everything up I can like a dry sponge. When I get home it’ll be time to put all your knowledge to good use. Thanks again so much! I’m always excited to watch the next one. Also do not worry, the video may be long but for us its to short. I wish I could see this shit in real life lol. Keep up the fantastic work we’re all rooting for you.
Thank You so much for these videos. You have that ol school knowledge (you can't find it in a book) & that is valuable. All the best to you & yours. God Bless.
love the videos! you are on point bubba!! watching from belton missouri!! keep them going!! you and your family are awesome!! god bless you all and stay safe my drag racing friend!!!!🖖
Thanks for your knowledge!! I'm not racing, but you've made a lot of sense and saved people a lot of money and headaches!! You da man, ole man!!! Lol. Best of luck to Billy, Tommy and Molly in their racing efforts!!
Thank you for the Straight foward insight and information. Im a 60yr old, old school gearhead and have been doing some sort of racing since i was 14. I am now in the middle of a 2000 s10 street build. They are some things you pointed out that i already knew, and some i didnt . The ones i didnt, i now dont hafta figure out by trial and error. The Best of luck to you and your Family in the racing world. Be safe and keep the rubber side down.
Education comes with age and years of experience. You are very well educated. Dont let anybody say other other wise. Enjoying your channel and learn something from all of them. The day I stop learning is the day I give up. Keep up the great work. From one old guy who still loves to learn...
thanks for the walk through; I always built Chrysler products and was happy in most respects. Appreciate the honesty and the sound advice for the younger folks. Drag racing is a great mechanical hobby.
When bill talks y'all listen -- school is in session. Thanks for it all my 18 year old son is moving in with me an want his s10 a drag truck thank y'all SRC good bless your family
Honestly I watched bits and pieces of this video on break at work. But I came back and watched it like 3 more times because there is so much good info in this video for me. I have a s10 SBC with a 78/75 single turbo. I'm just now getting it running right on 12 psi. Ran my first 6 second 8th mile a few weeks ago. Thanks for the awesome video man I'm gonna add an x brace to mine but I already have an 8 point cage. But it's getting close thanks again
Humbly , I appreciate, and sincerly cherish watching all the conent on all the channels . but like your humble attitude and gratefullness . The poor upper control arms.
After seeing how you have the rear set up I can now understand why you've not gone with a back half 4 link. The ol addiage - "If it ain't broke don't fix it" is applicable. I've been bitch'n that you need to back half the truck for a couple years,, NOW I understand. Thanks so much for these tips.
Thank you for this content your explanation is very easy to understand, I currently have a g-body ( 81malibu) the no prep intrigues me so your information on your front end set up translates to a g-body the rear is different because it is a coil spring suspension which I’m trying to learn as much as possible, again your videos are awesome please continue your wisdom is much appreciated
I have been following your channel for a very long time now. I have admired what you are and have been able to accomplish. You are a very humble, hard working man of which not many exist today. Hence, why people always want to know what you have done and what part is where, how come this and why not that. They do not desire great knowledge , as they say, from someone as yourself. They want to skirt the learning and mastery process. Knowledge is useless unless you can be the master of its implementation. Exactly why there are soooo many racers mired in mediocrity., and blaming it on not having enough money to do what they think they need to do. It is never the money that will afford the opportunity for high level achievement. It is what is in your heart and soul and your willingness to master all within your capabilities. Even with everything you gave in this presentation as well as the previous ones, they do not have your specific knowledge, experience, nor your boys style and implementation of piloting the vehicle. Which means is is mostly useless to them, unless they take the information and work the same as you to have mastery over it. I see you as a brilliant man. No level of formal education makes you smart. The total mastery of the knowledge you possess and mastery over its implementation afford you and your sons the opportunity to experience your level of success and future successes. That is real GENIUS. Keep up the work you are doing. I wish you all of the success and achievements you can reach. Can't wait to hear you speak again!!
Thank you sir I’m starting my s-10 and without you and billy I was going to ditch it in favor for a light car. After all your help and the graciousness I’m going forward with the s-10 and using your ideas and tips you took the tip to add to the videos I hope more do it’s polish not to with the realities of the s-10 being a lot cheaper than a mustang and you and Billy helping so much to get these hard to hook up light weight trucks hooking up and helping us on how it’s a no brained. It’s rude for me to call you the old man even tho you go by that buy air is like to thank you and Billy and is like to thank you by your name if I may? Respectfully Mike Stufano!!!! Thank you sir!!!
Legend! thanks for taking the time to help out. im not going to race an s10 as we dont have em in oz but some of this is applicable to my ford falcon utility (ute).
Love these videos and a inside look at things. I’m sure some are gonna say he shouldn’t have done this and showed all the tricks. I applaud him for spreading the knowledge. It’s all in the driver behind the wheel and he knows that. You could put 10 different guys in Billy’s truck and none would go faster than what he’s laid down. You can’t buy talent.
Good info I ran the same simple set up on my 67 Camaro , on short wheelbase cars such as the S-10 or first gen Camaro moving the front of the Cal-trac to a lower hole changes the instant center a good bit but thats a whole new can of worms , I just juggled mine around with bar location , tire pressure and shock settings until I got it to where it would hook up in mud whole , Keep the vids coming , Bill
thank you so much....guess i have some changing to do ....running drop spindles and leafs on a ls build i just finished and this video made it all click why i have no suspension travel ..... i feel so stupid, bout the only thing i got right was the ford 9in and cal tracs at this point but thank you so much for putting this video out. keep it coming
@SRC Garage - Phenomenal video Bill! Dropping nuggets left and right! Suggestion - do you think its possible to have a video on traction compound? Difference in performance between water burnout and PYOP? Different types of TC and what you prefer? I know you and your boys use Stripper Glitter but what are some of the differences between other brands? How about proper way of using it correctly? I would be very curious to learn more and I am not sure if many videos out there discussing it in depth. Thanks for everything you do and your valuable time.
Love the content. I get a lot out of it and I’m a mopar guy. A lot pertains to every make or model. Certainly enjoy the channel. I look forward to the new episodes.
I completely understand and agree on your drop spindle theory 💯!!!!! To any out there watching these tech videos, pay attention and listen to this man. This is some valuable knowledge. I'm gonna have to start calling you Professor H. Keep doing what you do good Sir!! #SRCNation
Thank u for the content putting out the suspension part of the last video was very much helpful I’m running a 90 model square body s10 an part of my biggest problem is keeping the front tires on the ground I’ve gotta find the upper longer ball joints I think that might give me what I need to not pack the tires as much because I don’t have 7 inches of travel with stock parts other than a bump steering kit thanks keep the content comeing
INTEGRITY =can't be bought, can't be sold! Thank you Bill sr. For not being a sellout to Anyone or any business that doesn't support our American way of life. Some others need to take notice before they sellout to that ALL MIGHTY$
THANK YOU AGAIN, GOD BLESS
Amen to that!!!
Ain’t no secret anymore ole man 😂 I’m glad you’s aren’t that crew that hides all their juicy information. Give a man a fish you will feed him for a day , teach a man how to fish and you will feed him for a life time.
100 percent man. You can’t buy skill and ya can’t buy time with the vehicle.
One thing I noticed that wasn't mentioned is the front sway has been removed.
Billy's nickname should be no lift. That young man has very strong driving skills. However his fabrication judgment is a little less desirable. Please talk to him about those upper A arms dad.
@@donavanjones9882 ll
You are the shit thank you
I Could listen to the old man all day. Love this channel, keep up the great work and thanks for your racing knowledge
The ol' man is/was the brains behind the S-10 success.
I'm located in Ohio, I'm a paraplegic and I am trying to finish my s10. I've been following for a while now and it's been great seeing how Billy has the truck setup. Thanks for that. Answered alot of questions I had with suspension. Thanks! Hope to see yall sometime next year. Eventually I'll have my truck back together.
Don't ever stop brother !
Keep a thrashing 👍
Hi ! Trigg3rhappy Im interested in knowing what type of hand controls you are using in your s-10 for adventure i have never built a drag car but it has been a dream and love of mine all my life and last year was a year for me to go for it Where have you put your nitrous and trans break buttons Hope every thing you do is a sucess and lots wins
Hey man!! How’s your truck coming along? It’s been almost a year since your comment and was curious if your getting close to having it going? I hope and pray that your doing well buddy and can’t wait for ya to be driving it again!

I did get my truck going. Only video I have is on my channel. I plan on putting something together later in a few weeks explaining my setup. I drove it to work yesterday for the first time and it's been running amazing.
My head is about to explode now. I took every single word of this in. Now i see it all coming together. Thank you so much for this lesson.
Thanks for the mention Sir! Always happy to help Billy and you all stay straight and fast!
Do you have a part number on that longer upper ball joint?
I have a s10 and I greatly appreciate all the info you give out. Just because you may not be "educated" doesn't mean you're not smart. You're educated from experience and it shows.

Wow. Amazing. Learned alot this morning Bill. Thank you very much for your time and wisdom
I don’t know why but I love learning about the chassis/suspension side of racing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us!
I swear I have been on the other side of the lowering spindle argument. Seeing the truck at full extension, the light bulb went off. Thank you for all you share!

It gives me a good starting point on my suspension on my 85 s10

That's the best explanation an most useful info I've herd or seen for a popular...real street truck... I appreciate your time ....thank you!
Thanks for all the great information and your time. Keep them coming we will keep watching
Thanks for all the tricks and tips you put out there. Not sure how much this will transfer to a 64 f100 with a solid axle but I’m not looking to have a street/no prep monster either.

thanks for the walk through; I always built Chrysler products and was happy in most respects. Appreciate the honesty and the sound advice for the younger folks. Drag racing is a great mechanical hobby.
Thank you for some great information that will keep a lot of people safe and moving forward.
I love watching the old man break everything down. Thanks for the videos I learn alot from these
Great video and very useful information Bill, thank you!
When bill talks y'all listen -- school is in session. Thanks for it all my 18 year old son is moving in with me an want his s10 a drag truck thank y'all SRC good bless your family
Honestly I watched bits and pieces of this video on break at work. But I came back and watched it like 3 more times because there is so much good info in this video for me. I have a s10 SBC with a 78/75 single turbo. I'm just now getting it running right on 12 psi. Ran my first 6 second 8th mile a few weeks ago. Thanks for the awesome video man I'm gonna add an x brace to mine but I already have an 8 point cage. But it's getting close thanks again
Thanks for all of the knowledge. Love your videos!!
Excellent video bill! Thank you very much for the education.
don't beat your self up man this channel is by far my favorite you are doing great keep them comeing
Thanks again, VERY MUCH, for sharing!! ...and I fully agree w/ ya on the spindles. Dunno how people can't see that....
Thats a bad ass truck. Thank you for sharing your videos. Truly enjoy watching them
Ole man your channel is my new (go to) even tho I don’t have a s-10. It just makes me want to do more to my Foxbody🦊. Thank you for everything 🙏
Humbly , I appreciate, and sincerly cherish watching all the conent on all the channels . but like your humble attitude and gratefullness . The poor upper control arms.
I don't have an S10, but I still love this video and I love learning new information from a very knowledgeable person. Keep on, keepin on!!
Thank you for sharing the wisdom. Glad to see you guys use the KISS principle as well!!
I had to stop and remember what KISS meant and I'll share it so others will know. "Keep it simple stupid".
Thank you I don't know how to say how much we all appreciate you sharing.
I work hard, but I think you work harder. Thank you for the content and the inspiration!
After seeing how you have the rear set up I can now understand why you've not gone with a back half 4 link. The ol addiage - "If it ain't broke don't fix it" is applicable. I've been bitch'n that you need to back half the truck for a couple years,, NOW I understand. Thanks so much for these tips.
Thank you for this content your explanation is very easy to understand, I currently have a g-body ( 81malibu) the no prep intrigues me so your information on your front end set up translates to a g-body the rear is different because it is a coil spring suspension which I’m trying to learn as much as possible, again your videos are awesome please continue your wisdom is much appreciated
Great job and effort put into this video. Your doing a great job!
Thanks for info on cal-tracs, it was very needed info
Thanks 🙏 for the video. Lots of good info. I’m starting to build a 87 s10. You guys are awesome
Great video on how to set up a vehicle, and the misnomer that it takes fancy parts to make them hook! keep them coming!
You did a great presentation . Old is always good. Old school racing...
I have been following your channel for a very long time now. I have admired what you are and have been able to accomplish. You are a very humble, hard working man of which not many exist today. Hence, why people always want to know what you have done and what part is where, how come this and why not that. They do not desire great knowledge , as they say, from someone as yourself. They want to skirt the learning and mastery process. Knowledge is useless unless you can be the master of its implementation. Exactly why there are soooo many racers mired in mediocrity., and blaming it on not having enough money to do what they think they need to do. It is never the money that will afford the opportunity for high level achievement. It is what is in your heart and soul and your willingness to master all within your capabilities. Even with everything you gave in this presentation as well as the previous ones, they do not have your specific knowledge, experience, nor your boys style and implementation of piloting the vehicle. Which means is is mostly useless to them, unless they take the information and work the same as you to have mastery over it. I see you as a brilliant man. No level of formal education makes you smart. The total mastery of the knowledge you possess and mastery over its implementation afford you and your sons the opportunity to experience your level of success and future successes. That is real GENIUS. Keep up the work you are doing. I wish you all of the success and achievements you can reach. Can't wait to hear you speak again!!
Thank you sir I’m starting my s-10 and without you and billy I was going to ditch it in favor for a light car. After all your help and the graciousness I’m going forward with the s-10 and using your ideas and tips you took the tip to add to the videos I hope more do it’s polish not to with the realities of the s-10 being a lot cheaper than a mustang and you and Billy helping so much to get these hard to hook up light weight trucks hooking up and helping us on how it’s a no brained. It’s rude for me to call you the old man even tho you go by that buy air is like to thank you and Billy and is like to thank you by your name if I may? Respectfully Mike Stufano!!!! Thank you sir!!!
Really Appreciate help , 1991 S-10 needs all can get ♥️
What you showed us at 16:00 earned you a subscribe. That kind of honesty is hard to find. Looking forward to learning a lot from your channel.
Good video buddy i watch all of yalls channels and there all as good as it gets. No bullshit just straight to the point is what I like.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy your channel.
Alot of this crosses over to early Dakota as well thanks for the help and the positive input
Legend! thanks for taking the time to help out.
im not going to race an s10 as we dont have em in oz but some of this is applicable to my ford falcon utility (ute).
I really appreciate the information. Working on my s10 now.
Love these videos and a inside look at things. I’m sure some are gonna say he shouldn’t have done this and showed all the tricks. I applaud him for spreading the knowledge. It’s all in the driver behind the wheel and he knows that. You could put 10 different guys in Billy’s truck and none would go faster than what he’s laid down. You can’t buy talent.
This answered a lot I had about the rear suspension, definitely appreciate this video a lot , we are getting started on our 92 here in the next week
Good info I ran the same simple set up on my 67 Camaro , on short wheelbase cars such as the S-10 or first gen Camaro moving the front of the Cal-trac to a lower hole changes the instant center a good bit but thats a whole new can of worms , I just juggled mine around with bar location , tire pressure and shock settings until I got it to where it would hook up in mud whole , Keep the vids coming , Bill
thank you so much....guess i have some changing to do ....running drop spindles and leafs on a ls build i just finished and this video made it all click why i have no suspension travel ..... i feel so stupid, bout the only thing i got right was the ford 9in and cal tracs at this point but thank you so much for putting this video out. keep it coming
Love the content!! Starting an S-10 project myself. Thanks for the tips
Thank you pops keep me coming I love this channel
This is the funniest video you’ve done and lots of good information God bless you and your family 🙏
@SRC Garage - Phenomenal video Bill! Dropping nuggets left and right! Suggestion - do you think its possible to have a video on traction compound? Difference in performance between water burnout and PYOP? Different types of TC and what you prefer? I know you and your boys use Stripper Glitter but what are some of the differences between other brands? How about proper way of using it correctly? I would be very curious to learn more and I am not sure if many videos out there discussing it in depth. Thanks for everything you do and your valuable time.
Love the content. I get a lot out of it and I’m a mopar guy. A lot pertains to every make or model. Certainly enjoy the channel. I look forward to the new episodes.
I completely understand and agree on your drop spindle theory 💯!!!!! To any out there watching these tech videos, pay attention and listen to this man. This is some valuable knowledge. I'm gonna have to start calling you Professor H. Keep doing what you do good Sir!! #SRCNation
Thank u for the content putting out the suspension part of the last video was very much helpful I’m running a 90 model square body s10 an part of my biggest problem is keeping the front tires on the ground I’ve gotta find the upper longer ball joints I think that might give me what I need to not pack the tires as much because I don’t have 7 inches of travel with stock parts other than a bump steering kit thanks keep the content comeing
Very informative. I know a lot has changed on this truck. But it has shown me all my mistakes I made when I had my s10 when I was 18 years old.
