Well I do like some newer trucks with lift but I like the baja (sp) style to them though. But yeah I would drop the thing really low in the front and not too much in the back. I will make the back a tad bit higher than the front. I would like to put some pretty wide tires on the back but I don't think that's possible with the fenders that aren't part of the bed because inside of that fender there is a peice of bent metal that attatches to the bed and then the fender attatches to it. Original wheels on that thing are 17" the guy said and he said I can go a bit more wider on it and it will still fit and not pop out as much. I won't use a S10 engine unless the person put a 350 engine swap on it. One thing I would have to change if I put a 350 in it is that I would have to move the steering column and all because it will hit the engine big time. I will have to drop it down a lot and then straight to the front a bit. Also what kind of radiator could I get for the thing since it is really skinny?
I knew you wouldn't want to use the S10 engine but the 4.3 is closely related to the 350 so the tranny should be usable. I'm not shure on the radiator.
