Super job!

[@martinsibley9564]

That is awesome what you did. I hope that I can do something like that!😊

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

Of course you can!

[@travisfranklin530]

Awesome job! 👌

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

Thank you Travis

The Mustang gas tank is a nifty touch for your 50….3!

[@robertgrider4346]

How did that 8.8 ford rear end work out for you width wise, I also, s/10 under '52 1/2 ton and the E-Z kit to lower cab& box 2", good luck with your project👍🇺🇸🏴‍☠️

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

Inside of rear tires where extremely close to the bedsides. I’m running 3 inch wheel tubs. See my other video for info on the tubs. Thanks

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

My inner tire barley touched the bed sides. I tubbed mine but you could either run 1 inch spacers or buy wheels with a offset to fit.

[@ervinjohnson8]

Good morning can you tell me the part number to the smog pump elimination and what belt did you use. That would be very helpful to me. Thank you!

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

I bought the GM surpentine front runner kit but you can find all the front bracket at the junk yard. The 82-94 s10 4.3s use the same brackets or the 350 capriice will both convert you to a surpentine one belt set up, but when using this set up you HAVE TO CHANGE TO A REVERSE RUNNING WATER PUMP.

[@ervinjohnson8]

Thank you, your build looks nice. I hope we see more of it. Happy New Year.

[@bakersfieldc1082]

i see you used the s10 mounts did u leave then in the original s10 location and height or modify the mounts

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

I modified the mounts then used a hole saw to drill the 1 1/2 hole for the original S10 body mounts.

[@paulgreen4809]

What brand of just brakes did you have for your 8.8 rear end that's what I've been looking for for mine I believe it's a 97 Ford explorer if you can help me out on that I'd preciate it love your truck❤

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

The 8.8 I have is disc brakes. 1995 to 2003 explorer has rear disc. Look at the tag attached to differential cover for gearing. The Letter L in the id tag indicates limited slip so a 373 limited slip will read 3L73 a 410 will read 4L10. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

Sorry reread your comment. I went to oreillys and bought the replacement brakes. Nothing special.

[@brianjacobsen5762]

Did you use an extra cab s 10 frame.? Your audio low I'm deaf. I don't know which. I've got s 10 frame x tra cab and 8.8 Ford rear Laing around. Got find old body. Cool.

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

S10 long bed is 118 inches fits 53 Chevy short bed 117 inches ,the wheel base on a stock 53 Chevy always looks too short from the factory so the extra length in the long bed s10 helps fit the 53 body better than it was stock.

[@giannirocco7492]

Hey Brian,if you're looking for a cool body I've got a '51 Ford F1 I think is for sale!

[@gilly007]

Can you share the dimensions for the bed lift?

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

Can you be specific ? The hinges or the dimensions of the frame that lifts up?

[@oggiali]

What is part number for the headers

[@giannirocco7492]

Would be a bit cooler if it grew a third pedal!

[@georgespangler1517]

Looks good just curious as to why you didn't just use a 700r4,,, the over drive looks like the drive shaft is sitting on angle and should have separate mount for overdrive

[@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29]

I know it looks long but you do not mount the over drive to a cross member. The answer to why not use a 700r4, it is not a strong transmission it takes a lot more money to beef up than my th350. The over drive is rated to 2000 hp . Take a look at the gear vendor page for the info you seek.

[@georgespangler1517]

@@jans53chevrolettruckbuild29 makes sense, l use 700r4s but I'm not running over 400 hp either, my 84 vette has a 4 speed manual transmission with a 2 speed overdrive automatic behind it , first time I ever heard of them is when I bought it,, my Chevelle has 400 turbo and all my fords have c6s.. they are bulletproof
