LS1 powered 1999 S10

[GPR]

We are painting a shop truck for our neighbor Current Performance Wiring. www.currentperformance.com. It will be powered by a 2004 GTO LS1 with an automatic. Front suspension is TRZ control arms with leaf springs and Caltracs in the rear. Front tires are 255/40/18 and the rear 295/35/18. We modified the rear bed and did away with the step in the rear. After we started the project we found out there is now a steel kit available. The original bed had some rust around the wheel wells so we used the top part from the right side on the bottom of the left side of the new bed.

That's a sweet project! I'm a fan of sport trucks! I like all the work that has been done so far!

We modified the cab a little

The cab had a little rust in the lower firewall on the right side that was cut out and repaired than we epoxy primed the cab

Truck looks great. Almost makes me want to start an ls1 2nd gen project.

When I sanded the bed I found a few surprises that were filled with bondo.



Brian welded the holes than I did the bodywork. The bed is almost ready for primer.

The fenders are painted. I sprayed 3 coats of 2011 Corvette Cyber gray yesterday and 3 coats of SPI Universal clear this morning.
