Default 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.
