    What's the plan for the rear axle and suspension?

    front will get stiffer spring but it’ll get lower about 1.5” I haven’t decided if I want to do axle over leaf to drop the rear, or custom leaf pack. Tahoe’s rear axle is going to get cut to fit and will be going on the S15. Drive shaft will have to get shortened as well.

    EDIT: again sorry for wording on mobile, well fix when I get home.

    And add A/C; On thing I absolutely hated about non-A/C S-series trucks was that they didn't have vents in the dash for some stupid reason...

    Looks like a transmission rebuild for the 4l60E is on its way. Have to buy a 4WD to 2WD conversion kit, and if i'm going that far might as well rebuild..
    They don't lie when they tell you swaps are a slippery slope.
    Who needs food this month anyways.. :anonymous:

    Getting AC to fit might be difficult, but not out of the question yet.
    Still in the early stages of the swap. :thumbsup:

    I think Vintage Air makes direct-fit A/C kits for the older S-10s...

    The Tahoe donor vehicle was a 4x4, the transmission on that needs to get converted to a 2WD. Should be a fun rebuild since i haven't done to many of them.
