“Did I lower it enough?” It’s never enough... I’ve always loved that first generation body-style...I always wanted one. I had a couple of friends who had them. I did put a clutch in for my one friend who wasn’t mechanical. Your truck looks good, I like it!
I have a '93 S-10, 2 door, 2 wheel drive, short bed. It came with a 2.8L EFI V6 and a 5 speed. It now has a carbureted 383ci V8 and a Muncie "rock crusher" 4 speed, as well as a Ford 8.8 rear axle. I didn't lower it. I wanted it to be drivable. I put 225/70-14 BFG Radial T/As on 14x6 Camaro Rallys in the front, and huge 275/60-15 Radial T/As on mid '70s 15x8 Corvette Rallys in the rear. Quite a few other things too, but that is the big stuff. I tried my best to make it look like an early '70s muscle car, and I think it turned out well. It has a true dual exhaust out the back, with glasspacks, and just over 400hp at the rear wheels at 5400 rpm. Burnouts are super easy. It's almost hard not to do one. You have to take it easy on the pedal. I bought all new aftermarket reproduction rally wheels, trim rings, and center caps. The 14x6 Camaro and 15x8 Corvette rallys are exactly the same other than size. All in all I have over $2000 into tires and wheels. Did you check the pinion angle? It needs RWL tires, trim rings, and a cowl hood.
Looks good man. Perfect height, because you can always put bigger wheels and tires on it, for when you need more traction for the extra bald eagles you get from that 8 cylinder in the shape of a V. Hahah.
Yes!!! Cruising with the kid, super cool trip! "Come on Dad, I'm youtubing in here!!" Music is great with this one man!! The wheel sanding at @8:00 is genius!!!! Truck looks great man!!
I’ve lowered 2 of my s10’s and kept the shocks from factory. After researching extended and compressed lengths of factory shocks versus Bell tech. Theres hardly any difference in measurements between them.
a long shot 3 year old video but here it is I want to do a 3-2 on my 91 what size tires and rims you running with them 2in drop spindles I can't seem to get answer on line. can I run my stock 14's
What size are those rally rims? I just bought an '87 S-10. It has original wheels on it, but came with rally in bed. They're 15×7 with 1" spacers. I like my tires to be tucked under wheel well and not sticking out. Would that size (15 × 7 rim) stick outside the fender? Nice truck!⚡👍⚡
Yeah should of went lower. But it still looks good. If you v8 swap that thing you will definitely need to change out the front springs. Love the name! Shane Falco 😂😂
Looks good 👌. I have a 92 S-10 it's been lowered also. I also have a 383 stroker and it didn't lower the front at all 🤷♂️. Are you doing anymore to it?
@@PatinaPitstop oh yes definitely needs the V8. I don't have AC either but didn't need it growing up in Alaska lol. I'm building mine like a street legal type. I used Chris Alston chassis works for the back half with a 4 link set up. Still need to finish the suspension and figure out which rims and tires to go with
Stock factory rallies. 15x8 in back 4 inch backspace I think. 255/60r15 tires. Fronts are 15x7 with 4 1/4 backspace i believe. 215/70r15 tires but i think 215/65 would look better
What options did u have to do a 3/4 drop? I have a 89 and wanting to lower it for now but not slam it just yet ? I like the 2/3 but would rather go 3/4...theres alot of wheel gaps in these trucks
@@PatinaPitstop i would rather use the drop spindles..just my preference...but i would also like to level mine...ya know now have any rake at all to it...i watched another video of a guy doing a red one like yours and used the 3 inch blocks in the back and another inch in drop shock to get the even height for 2/4 drop. Mine has the 4.3 v6 also.
@@PatinaPitstop what size is ur wheel ? Any advice in the pieces to level it. I'd really like to not have any rake, just lowered and level ya know. How do u determine the rake also ? (I know I could probably google it but obviously your got 1st hand experience and im wanting to do a lot of the same to mine)

I had a buddy message me and say he was cringing the whole time I was sanding. Sometimes genius and madness are not to far apart!
👏👏👏beutyful truck i have a 89 chevrolet s10 and i am working on it ilove my truck
Truck looks great lowered, look forward to seeing the wagon again.
Looks really good
I’ve lowered 2 of my s10’s and kept the shocks from factory. After researching extended and compressed lengths of factory shocks versus Bell tech. Theres hardly any difference in measurements between them.
I have an 86 but I noticed yours dosent have a dome light in the cab? I guess these trucks could get really bare bones if you wanted them to lol
Reminds me of my Dad and me in his old S10 when I was a kid..
Looks good man.
Definitely looking forward to more content on the s10..
Roll pan coming soon!!!!
@@PatinaPitstoplooks good man. can I run my 14's with 2in. spindles 91s10 2.8 2wd thanks
@@kentaylor7428 It should work without an issue
I have an 1986 extended cab 2 inch drop spindles and 4 inch lowering leafs in rear with 383 under hood
Ill run ya with my 383 powered modem a sedan. The bullet holes help aerodynamics.
a long shot 3 year old video but here it is I want to do a 3-2 on my 91 what size tires and rims you running with them 2in drop spindles I can't seem to get answer on line. can I run my stock 14's
You should be able to run the 14's. You are limited with tires sizes though. I would run a 235/60r14 front and back.
Very cool!
What size are those rally rims? I just bought an '87 S-10. It has original wheels on it, but came with rally in bed. They're 15×7 with 1" spacers. I like my tires to be tucked under wheel well and not sticking out. Would that size (15 × 7 rim) stick outside the fender?
Nice truck!⚡👍⚡
They will be tucked under without a spacer. My truck had 7's on the front and 8's in the back
@@PatinaPitstop your 7s in front rub on turns or No problems? Thanks for the info. Much appreciation
Very close to the tie rod ends. A big wheel weight might rub but that's it. I would recommend a 215/65R15 tire on the front.
Looks great! I have a 2/3 beltech kit with no shocks. The stock rims are 14s did you bump it up to 15s?
Yes, 15's all the way around
What are the rims off of
Yeah should of went lower. But it still looks good. If you v8 swap that thing you will definitely need to change out the front springs. Love the name! Shane Falco 😂😂
I know. I wanted to keep it a daily but I definitely could have went 3 in front and 4 in back.
@@PatinaPitstop my s10 is 4 and 4.
What size corvette rallies are they what backspacing and what size tires
Looks pretty sweet.I am about to buy an 88 S-10. I want mine to sit lower, did you put a 3" in the back and 2" in the front?
Yep. Probably should've done the 3-4 kit
Looks good 👌. I have a 92 S-10 it's been lowered also. I also have a 383 stroker and it didn't lower the front at all 🤷♂️. Are you doing anymore to it?
I'm trying to decide. It definitely needs AC, and a V8....and a 5 speed. 😁
@@PatinaPitstop oh yes definitely needs the V8. I don't have AC either but didn't need it growing up in Alaska lol. I'm building mine like a street legal type. I used Chris Alston chassis works for the back half with a 4 link set up. Still need to finish the suspension and figure out which rims and tires to go with
Looks good I like it I dropped my 86 s10 the same high they look better lowered
I love chevy rallies, I have them on my El Camino
What are you running for a tire size?
Perfect .
Looks good.
Looks good. I don't like it when they're dragging their belly.
I bought a lowering kit for my s10 but I noticed it said extended cab is there a difference between the single and extended cab drop kits?
What kind of backspace wheels do you using? I lowered mine with 2” spindles and now I can’t go no where bc the wheels hits the tierods
They are stock rally wheels. 15x7 in front 4.25 backspacing I'm guessing. Very very close to the tie rods too.
@@PatinaPitstop I have some after market 18s but all I know I’m stuck
Looks like mine should. How does it ride and handle?
Handles good, a little stiff in the rear but not too bad.
@@PatinaPitstop Debating doing same to my 91. Probably dumb question, would air shocks on the rear help or not work at all?
Wheel sizes!! Offsets!!??
Stock factory rallies. 15x8 in back 4 inch backspace I think. 255/60r15 tires. Fronts are 15x7 with 4 1/4 backspace i believe. 215/70r15 tires but i think 215/65 would look better
@@PatinaPitstop thank you, sir!!
What size rear tire did you use?
255/60R15
I think we work at the same place I see a truck just like this in the parking lot
In Lebanon?
@@PatinaPitstop yes sir
Purrffect
What options did u have to do a 3/4 drop? I have a 89 and wanting to lower it for now but not slam it just yet ? I like the 2/3 but would rather go 3/4...theres alot of wheel gaps in these trucks
I use Bell Tech. Pretty sure the only difference is it will include a lowering spring in the front. And 4 inch blocks in the back.
@@PatinaPitstop i would rather use the drop spindles..just my preference...but i would also like to level mine...ya know now have any rake at all to it...i watched another video of a guy doing a red one like yours and used the 3 inch blocks in the back and another inch in drop shock to get the even height for 2/4 drop.

@@PatinaPitstop also what size wheel/tire are you running ?
Rear is 8 inch wide wheels 255/60. Front is 7 inch wheel 215/70 but I wish I would have went with a 215/65
@@PatinaPitstop what size is ur wheel ? Any advice in the pieces to level it. I'd really like to not have any rake, just lowered and level ya know. How do u determine the rake also ?

is that malibu wagon for sale?
Probably never. 😊
nope, 2 more inches and put some 13 inch gold daytons on it lol
size tire?
Looks good but still to high.
could go a little lower its good tho
4"/5"
save your money and throw a small block in that s10
Someday, might go LS, might go small block
@@PatinaPitstop the ls in my k10 is hard to beat.
