I had to sell the truck. Could not afford to finish it. Wish I did. I got running boards added.
Before and after pics. New bench seat. No wooden box underneath S10 seats. Steering column much higher. Banjo steering wheel. Lokar shifter....
The Steer Clear product is very well made. I think it would take a big hit and still be functional. It is completely sealed.
I did not design or build this product. I just purchased it. So it is not an ad for the product. Just saying I liked it. Somebody on this forum...
Awesome truck.
You are a class act Sturgis. I am sure I would rather ride in a truck built by you using duct tape and wire. Any of your solutions win a SEMA...
This chain drive works perfect or a little better. Gives me twice as much room. Looks great. They need to approve this it is a much more natural...
It sort of is a 46. Because of the war they sold 46s for the first couple months of 47. So it technically is both a 46 and a 47.
Can't wait to drive it. It is rock solid so far. The truck has an S10 clip on the front. It drove nice before. Lots of room now. I love it.
I did not do the work. Paul Kilcrease did it. He does god work though.
Custom dash is looking good.
It is pretty arrogant on NSRA part to say to SEMA that you do not know what is safe or well engineered. I think all of us would love to go to...
You are correct. Because of the war the first 2 months of 47 Chevy sold the 46 models. Most 47s look like the new models. I wondered about the...
It won "2006 Best Engineered New Product Award Winner" at SEMA. That seems like it should be safe.
Very cool, thanks.
That sounds good enough for me. I think my questions on the 4 link is it worth it. It is a very stiff ride. They are going to remove a leaf. That...
Thanks for the feedback. I have another issue. It has 450 hp 383 stroker. I need to add posi track. I want to change the wheels to American...
The engine compartment is small. So to bypass the headers and raise the steering column the chain drive was necessary. I measured it and now I...
Here are the pics from before.
I am a big guy over 300 pounds. So my little 47 Chevy truck was a tight fit. My builder Paul Kilcrease fixed that with a chain drive on my...
Got a donor truck. Has a clear title from Minn. All I need is the running boards and back fenders. Looks like a fairly solid truck. Somebody wants...
try this again
Here is the truck with head light buckets. Looks even better. I like big head lights. I think most guys do.
The reason I ask is because I own this bad boy now. Going to take a lot of time and money to finish it. I think it needs to be show quality and...
Thanks everybody.
You can walk across our lakes now. Getting close to 40 days in a row over 100. Brutal. Got to add AC to my truck before I can drive it.
