a guy called me yesterday interested in my s10. he told me he had a 93 1500(i dont usually like that body to much) but i was curious so i took a look. and ill have a new truck tomorrow! solid axle swap, lifted 12in, freshly rebuilt 355 with papers to prove(only 100 miles), turbo 400 tranny rebuilt around a year ago, 5 point racing harness, has ZERO rust looked everywhere couldnt find any in the cab corners fenders or anywhere on the frame! went for a ride and she rides great! carb needs a little bit of tuning because it doesnt want to idle but other than that its great! he says the front axle is a dana 44.. but says its a one ton axle and its 8 lug, could that be correct? im not sure but anyways i have a couple pics!
fresh paint that looks much better in person!

She looks like a bad whip. IMO she could use some big old fender flares. Can't wait to see more pics though.

My brother-in-law had one alot like this for his first ride. Had alot of fun it her.

Dana 44 HD was in F250's. 3/4 ton axle (mine was from a 75 Highboy)

Put one in my 99 silverado i did a solid axle swap on. Same as the 1/2 ton 44 but just has them big ole hubs on it.
