Hey guys this is my 2003 Chevrolet S10 Extended cab. Its been in the garage for the last year, gettin worked on 4-6 hours every day. been driving it for about a month now here it is

Before i show the progress I need to give a special shout out to Matt Milinessi, who was living over here while he was going to wyotech. He did not miss a single day to help me build this thing and teach me a shitload throughout the build.  This also goes for days when he was at school from 6am till 10pm, then come home and help me wrench till midnight or 1am, then go sleep and wake up the next day and do it again!  This guy is a genious and if your in the NY area and need work done on your car, hes the guy to go to.  Thanks a shitload for everything bro, couldnt have built this crazy truck without your help!  Now hes back in NY and has a very crazy project underway... heres his car domain to watch the progress:

Also would like to Thank Ryan Houston 'The Engineer' .  This guy is nuts, he is the one who invented the automatic/manual lamborghini doors, but posted pics and videos online before he could patent and had the idea swooped from him. if it wasnt for his crazy ideas alot of shit wouldnt have been implemented on this truck.  The dump bed went through 5 of his theorys before we combined minds and came up with the one you see on this truck.  Also he had a good part of creating a foundation to go off of on my 4link, with a couple cool ideas for the bars I also implemented then let my imagination take on the rest.  Thanks Ryan!

now to the truck...

bodydropped 3"

Dump bed (NO KIT) I fabricated everything. the bag is on a 70/30 cantilever aimed straight back. the bed c an tilt 90 degrees before the combo touches. As the bed tilts, the rollpan actually rolls around under the frame. I need a better bag, right now I have a contitech pos thats why it dosnt get much lift

4 Kinetik 2400 power cells, 100ft+ 1/0 wire, another 75ft still left to go

I made my own backhalf out of raw 2x3 1/4in walled tube, and 2x2 3/16th walled, 1.5dom 120 wall and 1.5dom 1/4in walled.  Bed is framed with 1.5 x 1.5 120 wall tube

bye bye old frame. I used to do alot of 3 wheeling and it wasnt braced, so that thing warped like a cd on a dash in a hot summer day lol

my new rails freshly welded up (before gussets)

4 link coming together, again NO KITS!  also in the background you can see the rear cab wall being shaved smooth

lower bars i fabbed up

setting up upper mounts

see the upper mounts i made out of 1.5 dom under the fuel cell rack

heres the fuel cell my buddy made for me. originally this was gonna go int he rear, so i wanted it drag proof. its made out of 1.4in steel plate and weighs 110lbs dry. kinda pointless now that its mounted high, but hey thats something il never have to worry about breaking!

heres the new crossmemeber over the driveshaft i made

here it is during metal finishing and mock up

Link assembled, backhalf tacked up into place

another crossmemeber/shock tower 1.5in 1/4wall dom. also gussets on frame shown in this pic

secondary subframe for batterys, tanks and air compressors mounted up. the bag bracket u see at the bottom is not the one on the truck. that design didnt work and I did the rear firing bag for the dump bed as i stated before

primer

freshly painted flat black, my favorite color

first bed mockup before I started cutting

I can lay 24s int he rear :)

i bought this bed as is for 100 bucks. those cadi buckets were bondoed in, along with the combo. i had to redo the whole fuckin thing

I also decided to french the plate and mold a rear view camera into the combo. when i was done it looked like this:  hey, can you spot the camera? :)

heres the batterys all wired up

batterys, compressors, air tanks, valves, fuel cell

here I am next to it, this was the first time it came out of the garage in 9 months, then went back in the last 3 for cosmetic crap and "put back together"

i have 2 2x4s under the wheel, itl lay 22s up front. firewall is tubbed like crazy too

everything is gutted under the hood. no a/c, no heat, relocated smog pump, abs, fuse box, intake and made a slave cylinder bracket and relocated it, 7" brake booster, efan (cavi intake manifold coming soon)
