LS1 powered 1999 S10

We are painting a shop truck for our neighbor Current Performance Wiring. www.currentperformance.com. It will be powered by a 2004 GTO LS1 with an automatic. Front suspension is TRZ control arms with leaf springs and Caltracs in the rear. Front tires are 255/40/18 and the rear 295/35/18. We modified the rear bed and did away with the step in the rear. After we started the project we found out there is now a steel kit available. The original bed had some rust around the wheel wells so we used the top part from the right side on the bottom of the left side of the new bed.

That's a sweet project! I'm a fan of sport trucks! I like all the work that has been done so far! :thumbsup:

Truck looks great. Almost makes me want to start an ls1 2nd gen project.

When I sanded the bed I found a few surprises that were filled with bondo.

Brian welded the holes than I did the bodywork. The bed is almost ready for primer.

The fenders are painted. I sprayed 3 coats of 2011 Corvette Cyber gray yesterday and 3 coats of SPI Universal clear this morning.

Awesome project! I have a 2001 S10 with the 4.3 that has some bolt-ons, lowered one inch with TT II's, so I'm anxious to see how this project progresses into in final stages.:thumbsup:
