I bought 2 2000 S10 Ext.Cabs in 03'... one is our drag " Grudge Truck " called" WFO "... 4.80's +/-... now workin' on the OBS S10... LOL... Autocross version with a " Full Tilt " SBC... KINDA'... Full chassis, 1 complete ROLL of carbon parts pulled off pristine molds made from perfect sheetmetal ( all sheetmetal )the Carbon is for time attack and 2K top field trucks. So stoked to find you again... KUDO'S for the hard work my friend... see you in the near future. Respectfully, Seth
Lots of good info here. Man this is similar to my s10 build. I widened the track width 3inches all around to fit c5 staggered wagon wheels. Modified 3rd gen 4 wheel disc brake rear-end stock leaf springs and 3rd Gen torque arm homemade custom mount. Has complete s10 xtreme suspension package 3rd Gen quick ratio steering box + many other upgrades to the suspension and brake system. Putting a fresh 350 into it soon its a blast to drive
@@315squared4 so far just driving it around town its been great I've recently been in contact with the F.I.R.M. Here in Florida and as soon as I can. I'll get it to the track and see how it goes
Awesome professional vid. I have a variety of v8s10s short stand trucks that range from 450 - 1800 HP. That frame to cage is key! Winters IRS is the best I found with lead balast along w/ twin 88s an dry sumpoil and cool system in the bed. For a 3000 gvw. Enjoy the happy times
I just bought a 82 out here in west Texas. I want it simple,raw, powerful, and makes it handle as good as it can within reason $$$. Miles of smiles ahead for me and the family.
Jesse Vaughn at Level 7 Motorsports can get you fixed up with anything you want. Kevin and I both use him. Jesse built my yellow/white 78 he's currently racing this season for me.
I’d suggest a panhard bar on the rear end, you can definitely see it sliding back and fourth after accelerating out of the corner which looks like wheel hop as well
He’s currently building a brand new S10 to track. A standard cab. Not sure if he’s going to use a panhard bar or not on the new build? He hasn’t updated much on IG. I need to reach out to see how it’s going
Next summer is my first time on a road course. I have a 2020 ford f150 rcsb xl 5.0litre 10 speed auto with paddle shifters. Truck is dropped 4/6 and has helwig bars and rides on 20x10 with 305/35/20 pirelli p zero f&b . Looking forward to having some fun. Thanks for a very uplifting vid.
Ive never raced a road course but obviously my friends do and it’s a whole different animal than racing around cones in a parking lot. Addiction sets in lol
This is so badass man, I’m thinking of making my second gen Isuzu hombre into an autocross truck, right now I have tiny cheap all season tires and the front grip is otherworldly compared to most cars so I can’t even imagine what it’s like on a decent sized sticky tire! Definitely need to throw some of the weight towards the back though it looks to get out sideways a lot which is really fun but it’s not going to win me races
I just got a 93 GMC Sonoma single cab long bed 4.3 V6 only eighty-six thousand miles on it and I only paid a thousand bucks for it the interior looks brand new no rips or tears or anyting all I had to do is replace the door cylinders I do the brakes because they don't work for some reason and maybe fix the AC and that's literally all it needs then put a drop kit on it 10 to Windows and so nice rims then doing LS swap down the road
Love this video. Have 2 street strip S10’s 93 & 94 and 01 GMC JIMMY I’m wanting to Autocross it it’s LS swapped got C5 brakes for up front new Viking crusaders dbl adjustables for all around. Thanks for the taller A body spindle tip. Just learning from scratch. Are you gonna do a manual rack and pinion? Also when you ram spacers for the vette wheels where you worried about the spacers holding up? Which ones did u use?
I have the same type truck same color yet blue qt bottom it's a 84 S-10 Tahoe 2.8 LL inter V-6 😆 5-speed stick truck I have another one bad motor I'm thinking of fixing or selling to fix the one running half ass due the vac leaking
Love the wide body! Been contemplating that myself for a while. What rear end is in this truck? It looks like it has 10 bolts, but can't tell if its 7.5, 8.5, 8.8 or something else. Anyway - Great job.
I just picked up a 95 Sonoma, 5spd manual 2wd, and am wanting to autox / road course it after winter. Got any tips for how to set it up suspension wise?
That would prevent the rear suspension from cycling at all. You would never use those 2 suspension designs together. I'd take a torque arm setup over a triangulated 4- link.
Great feature. Maybe if I can keep mine together I'll get a chance to compete against it at an event in the near future.
Thanks Tyler, I think he’d really like to get into more road course action which I know you’re found of as well.

Thanks for the in the wheel well footage, I actually learned a lot by watching the suspension work. Very nice to include that. Clean build
I try to always include suspension shots in my videos. Sometimes easier said than done

Love the s10. I have a 93. It’s a complete pow that I hope to turn into a road racer.
It’ll happen. Rome wasn’t built in a day either

I know Jessie but not sure TJ knows. I guess I assume he’s aware of Level 7 but I can’t say for certain. I’ll reach out to TJ. Thanks for the heads up

Great video I have a 92 and a 93 for my daughter and myself to put together and hopefully cross them in the future
These S-10’s are getting very popular so I think it’s a matter of time before the aftermarket starts making more upgrades for them
I autox in canada with a Miata, I love your approach and your project…

I’ve thought about building a S10 or Hombre but it’s not in the budget quite yet.
Rear grip is much more about suspension tuning than just weight placement. Keep working and you'll get to your goals!
I just bought the same truck for $350 and it's a great truck building it up now
You gotta good deal, I just paid a grand for a 82.
Dude I love a S10 great truck and keep it up, very nice man 👍👌
This video made me a subscriber
Appreciate that David
Nice👍

I’d reach out to TJ on his instagram account. He’d be happy to answer and questions you might have
Bad ass!

My friends want me to build an S-10 and I’m not against but I have other builds I want to do first

I’ll ask him and let you know
I just picked up a 95 Sonoma, 5spd manual 2wd, and am wanting to autox / road course it after winter. Got any tips for how to set it up suspension wise?
I’d reach out to TJ on his IG. He has more knowledge than me on trying to get your Sonoma to hook up
Do you think a torque arm would be needed had you gone with a triangulated 4 link in the rear?
Let me ask TJ the owner and I’ll let you know what he says
So TJ said it was never a thought of his to do that as he wasn’t interested in that kind of set up for his truck.
That would prevent the rear suspension from cycling at all. You would never use those 2 suspension designs together. I'd take a torque arm setup over a triangulated 4- link.
Maybe I missed it. Did you mention what steering box you're using?
Let me ask him
Factory swing set with a lee power steering 9:1 box
I need to build an s10
Snag one up and get going on it
The GMC was a S15 not a S10!
True. But it was originally a S-10 that he converted to a GMC
U have an amazing wife cuz mine, boy oh boy
