- One of the big parts about our business is helping customers move their own projects forward, not necessarily building them from start to finish ourselves. In this case we have a new customer who came to us for some assistance getting his own square body S10 "race truck" past a series of challenges. We have a lot to do with this one, and it's going to be over multiple videos, but first things first, let's get the front suspension figure out!
The tricky thing with hot rods, race cars, custom cars, anything that's "not stock" or "original" is you really are never building the same exact thing twice, so the answers to similar problems are often different. Something as simple as "what springs do I need for an LS swapped S10" can very widely. In OUR case, we made a reasonably well informed guess and pulled the trigger on a Moog set to compliment our customers QA1 front shocks he provided.
Just as a heads up this will be a multi part series with this little truck as we help knock down one challenge at a time and get his machine a couple steps closer to cool and race ready. LS Swapped S10 race truck build series anyone??
Huge thanks as always to all our subscribers, followers, fans, and customers who have made our business successful and gotten our channel to where it is today. Special thanks to the SRC / Street Racing Channel / SRC Garage / Old Man's Garage / Junkyard Digs folks for showing such amazing support for us over the past several months. Without all of you we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are today. We hope you enjoy this one! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Anyone in for a S10 race truck build? 😮
Started one back in the fall. Could use your expertise on the front end alignment after I have installed a bump steer kit.
Yes yes and yes
I have a S10 I need to bring to u to get lined up
@@wreckanchor we can certainly help you out with that!
@Timmy Boyd just give us a few weeks heads up, especially as we head into "Even Busier" season!
Thanks to Lucore for all the help and support means a lot plan on making my own CZcams after getting it back and making content can’t wait to see what the future holds
We really appreciate you bringing us your project to help you move it forward! Not only that but we can use it as a way to help others learn some of the things WE do to set these things up "our way".
Should be a fast and fun truck . The customer will be happy with the changes to a now working setup!
Your the best Rich don't be camera shy keep up the talking man we all like to hear the knowledge
Nice job Rich! Your customers are very fortunate to have you and your crew fixing their vehicles and projects!!!
I really like what you do and how your not afraid to r&r stuff as many times as needed to make it right. 👍
That's honestly the answer to how we score so many wins, don't give up, keep working the problem. If you never give up you'll never lose. 👍
I’m in , I really enjoy your videos Richard . I love the shop vibe , chatting with the other guys that flow in and out . Plus I love how you explain how things work and how the modifications will effect the performance of the vehicle. Thanks
I really like how you go the extra mile and make sure it done right!!! nice work!!!
The stance looks good on the S10, tons of potential there, cool little project!
Thanks for your time! Enjoyed the video very much. Getting ready for a father/son project and am really leaning towards the s-10 since there's so many available aftermarket stuff!
Nice very nice.... As I'm doing 85 s10
Great content. I like the multiple cars you have worked on in past.keep up the good work
Of course you are great at your job, that looks like the s-10 Billy bought awhile back.
i seen a big gravity spill tonite everything hit the floor that was too funny rich lol
Always such great attention to detail Rich. The go to guy in central Ohio for high performance suspension and alignment.
Love the race car stuff...and the AMC stuff
Rich great job on both videos all caught up now
Staying up 'til midnight to watch this. I am the party king!
Sweet can't wait to see it finished
Another awesome Lucore video!
You were only "dumb" once sense you put the 2nd spring in correctly. Obviously "smart" advanced when you corrected the 1st spring. So now your Smarter. We are so proud. LOL.
Thanks for sharing Rich. Got more to do with this for sure. 💯
I find your videos very informative and thouroly entertaining keep up the good work
Nice s10 with a GMC grille
Hopefully on this one you shown how to make the brakes not drag.. please and thank you.. i look forward to all your videos
It's coming in the next video we'll have up on Monday 👍
You must be referring to the SUPER SECRET LOW DRAG BRAKE TRICK! 🤣
@@robertbriggs4176 Yes sir that one ;) Btw the video of phase 1 of that JUST went live ;)
Personal experience: Those headers will work with the cheap $60 speedway tubular control arms. I run them with proform 1" over ball joints moroso 205#s and it only barley taps the header when the front SLAMS down. Fixed that with a homemade adjustable bump stop.
Cool 😎 . Let’s go 🏁
Man on a hair trigger right there!
Great content and attention to detail. @Rich Lucore what kind of lights are those that you use?
Dude, he probably bought all Billy's old stuff he took off with winter upgrades.
Nice
I would use lowering spindles and springs. I'm highly against cutting the coil springs. That's a accident waiting to happen
What are your thoughts on truck arm suspension? Putting together an s10, wanting to do auto cross type events and maybe some drag and drive stuff. Just feel if it worked for nascar on road courses all these years it would be the most versatile setup.
well here at injection perfection we always do it right the 2nd time
Come on Billy, those are horrible cuts😂!!😂Lol
Theres a nice red s10 thats been for sale in the HAMPTON ROADS VA craigslist for awhile,its a nice truck and price is good,red and 383 i believe etc.
Interesting TICO, I may need to check it out
Nice video can’t wait to see the next part those must be 17 on the front he should contact me I have set of 2” drop spindles and speedway tubular control arms lot more header clearance keep bringing the good stuff thanks
I don’t know if this is ok 200.00 for all sorry if this is issuse
a lot of the springs at the cheaper end of the market feel really stiff for the first week then ,ill say "settle", about an inch and a half lower for the rest of there useful life . just a little word of warning from my experiance over the years . this could have been because of the limitations of what we could import when i was doing it also
Bad idea on fender exits lol
19:50 whats up with the upper ball joint
Again teasing us with the freewheeling brake fix😢
JUST put the Phase 1 of that up a few minutes ago ;)
Black heart headers for ls s-10 swap
Is that one of billy the kids S-10s?
Do taller upper ball joints affects the ride height?
No they do not, but they do have a huge effect on lift. Very very worthwhile upgrade
Great info. Thanks!
wow another LS'd S-10.
Get outta thurrrrrr
