PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Street-legal 1983 S-10 pro street; Purchased about 20 years ago as just a gutted shell, essentially a cab and a chassis. It had no bed, no doors, no engine, no rear diff, and only some interior parts, but it had a title so the owner bought it for $125 and built it into what you see here! This was originally a long bed truck, but the owner modified it and moved the cab back; He installed a standard short bed, and extended the front fenders, resulting in the unique layout you see before you...

 

It has A/C, power windows, and a stereo system!

 

Nice!

 

It does not not have power steering or power brakes, but it does have a serious 4-wheel disc braking system...

 

The guy bought it as just a frame and cab (with a clear title of course) back in 2000 for just $125!

 

I honestly dont like bright red vehicles. But that engine set up is nice

 

Especially with such close oversight

 

That was just another curious spectator...

 

Hmm..depending on what's actually in the glovebox (if anything) you might be able to store it there..or do what I did with one of my old buckets and run wires to the trans tunnel area and secure the HU to the floor. It will look a little hack ass that way but you won't be cutting up the original.

Yes and yes since the tray is already well used, it's better than risking using the window and getting blowback

1952 Volkswagen Beetle; The current owner was given this car as a gift by the original owner in the early 1970s. The original owner was the current owner's high school guidance counselor I believe, and he bought it new in Belgium while in the US Army serving overseas there; Once his tour of duty was over, he brought it to America and held onto it for almost twenty years. The car has been restored, but to original condition.

It gets about the same gas mileage as a Prius, but it has a staggering 25hp!

 

No ashtray in this one, @Taco critter
