95 S-10 Truggy Build

The base is a 95 S-10 ext cab. I will be using a lot of parts from my 93 full size PU.
This includes:
Front axle: 79 Ford hi pinion D60, locked, 35 spline chromo in and out, drive flanges & 5:38 gears
Rear axle: Ford 10.25, locked, stock shafts.
Engine: 05 5.3, currently stock "for now"
Trans: 4L60E
T-case: NP 241
Suspension seats
Fuel cell
Rear drive shaft

The plan is to 4 link front and rear with ORI 16" struts all the way around. Cut the frame off at the rear of the cab and tube it. Trying to stay around 117" wheel base. The front will be chopped off close to the water pump. Will relocate the radiator to the rear. Tube the front and mount the winch up front.

Started on the interior today. It was nasty and there was a some alarm wiring mess that needed to come out. Someone put a push button to start it. I thought it was issues from the alarm, but it wasn't. After I got the mess out and hooked everything back up correctly, something is still wrong. When you turn the key on, it engages the starter. Sounds like the ignition switch. Gutted the interior and what a difference it made. The smell is mostly gone now.

Looks like a good plan. What's your timeline for completion?

It really depends on funds. The shocks and links are a big chunk of money. I figure about two years max.

Ive had mixed opinions on the ORI's, none from personal experience of course. Why the decision to go the ORI route over a coil over?

Awesome build starting here Kevin. Let me know if i can ever lend a hand.

I like the rebound dampening the most. Not dealing with dialing in coils is a plus too. I have yet to see anyone that does what we do and not like them.

Agreed. And, you essentially have built in air bumps. Tunability is endless as well.

One specific reason i went with coil overs instead of the ORI's....In the event of a roll over, or any damage to the shock an ORI has the potential to prevent wheeling the rest of a trip (putting your rig out of commision). CO's will continue to maintain ride height using the springs where an ORI or air shock will compress when pressure is lost. Mark's roll on Grapevine as an example.

The rest of the truck is gone. Now I can easily roll the cab around in the garage. Time to sort though some wiring and get rid of wires I dont need.

Gone, or just out of the garage?

Cut that frame in two, bolt a coupler to the back half, and sell your new "trailer" for half what you paid for the truck!

Where did you take it that gave $200? Most places I have heard only offer $50-100 right now for scrap vehicles.

Got a 3 &4 link kit with 1.25 hiems from RuffStuff. Saved $300 on a black Friday deal. Merry Christmas to me.

After a looong pause... it's time to get busy.
Started getting rid of the extra wiring and finding what i need to hook back up. Most of the wiring will come over with the engine. Once i get the wiring sorted out, I'll start building a frame. Then the old rig gets stripped.Click image for larger version

Glad to see the pause is over. Are you going to use the factory gauge cluster?

Going back with a 241, or change it out for something gear driven?

Yes I will use the factory gauge cluster. It should wire up just like my old one.
After breaking four 241 cases, I'll be putting in an atlas this time

Painted the firewall and door frames the final color. Now I won't have to paint around an engine. The color I picked out is GM ultra silver metallic.

Been working mostly on wiring and the interior. I still have to mount a harness bar behind the seats, and paint the floor black. This truck had a column shift, so I hit Upull and found a nice console shift setup. I really like the feel so far.
If this extended winter would go away, I could get busy on the tube.
