I have added rubber strips between straps and tank. Stiffened it up nicely. Probably going to add a hidden hitch.

All accessories on and upper steering box mounted.

Great project! I'm surprised you sacrificed such a nice S-10.

Looked good from afar. Engine didn’t run and had electrical problems. I got a good deal on it and the parts I wanted were worth more than I paid. The first cut was hard to do.. after that game on, looked like a chop shop in my garage lol.

Was one that was a big assed wrecker when I was growing up always made a beeline to sit in it!
Always love this body style!

Pretty close! The one had a "roll bar" behind the cab, winch ran either up to that and to the boom or straight to the boom..
All the nice cheap ones we coulda shoulda saved. For $50 and a battery!

Mid ship bearing was shot. You would not believe what it took to get this apart. It’s on the trophy rack in the garage now!

Glad to see you post up a build / project thread . Man that was a nice looking S10 to end up being a donor but I realize sometimes this is the cheapest way to go . So , on that carrier bearing , was that on the S10 ? I wouldn't thought they were long enough to need one . While I'm a Coke guy that Pepsi truck looks cool .

S10 ext cabs have this bearing.
