Chop's 85' S10 (single cab) * 3 18"s (4th order)

[porkchop 304]

I will spend the next several days catching up this build log. I will be sure to cover the truck's history and how this became my new project. Figured I would start with a pic of it as the first time I had seen it in 2012. I have a few pics I have snatched up of it in it's earlier stages that I will share as well.

All I can tell ya...is this poor thing is just a ugly beast.

[altoncustomtech 773]

LOL, ugly is a fitting description.

 

Looking forward to seeing what goes forth with it!

The roof ....oh my lord the roof..the external speakers. ...covering so much more wrong under them..all the screws , brad nails, and dents. ..mixed with bondo, bed liner, silicon, resin....you name it....

I did not initiate the tear off....I probably would have chosen similarly. ...but I can bet we both agree. ..leaving them alone would of seemed a better choice.

lots of work to get it....well...to just a state of okay at best.

[porkchop 304]

The interior. ...wasn't like horrible. ...I mean it was...but seemed do-able....more I looked around. ...less do-able it became....

the door panels had to go.

You have the good dash for spl. No map pocket under dash.

I have the alternator and regulator off that truck.

[Sencheezy 689]

[Lee Carter 150]

Looking forward to the progress.  I love rescue builds.

[antoinez28 62]

Steve, this exact truck?

That would be too cool if so.

I am currently trying to look at some alternator options.

Trying to build what I can to keep the budget low for a bit longer.

this is a mock up of what I am trying to mess with.

[porkchop 304]

These two singer 275a came from Acousta.

Sort of small power and they have the wrong pulleys.

So for now..I am just toying with the ideal of doing this route.

[porkchop 304]

My original goal was something sort of high...20k+

I guess budget and opportunity will be the deciding factors. Time is on my side for now. ..no rush for a while.

Yup...that would be the same one then!

Too cool

[porkchop 304]

This is the roof after cutting all the screws and brad nails flush.....sanded all the resin, bondo, bed liner, & silicon off primed it......since this.....we have used body filler to fill the holes and partially most of the dents.

[porkchop 304]

For some of you...here is the first look into the cabin. .this is the port mouth.

Yes....the walls are rough.

And yes....the debris is from a brick of fireworks.

(Kids will be kids) lol
