Alright, new to the page. Starting work a swapping a 78 Luv onto a early 90's S10 frame, well the front half of the S10 frame anyway. Planning on doing kind of like a "Pro Touring" Luv project. Got a set of 335/35R17 and 275/40R17 tires pretty cheap so that will be what I'm working with. Planning on building a back half for it and running a 9" rearend. Going to go with either 5.3 or 6.0 LS motor, still up in the air on transmission. Wanting to go with a T56 or TR6060 but dang them things are HIGH if you can find them. My little brother runs a transmission shop and of course his idea is run a 4L60e since he has a TON of them and can build them cheap... Wheel of choice will be a Weld RTS-71, 17x12.5 with 2.2 back spacing, should look pretty mean. I'll try and post updates as we go on the build, buddy of mine named it project "LuvLESS" so I'll post under that heading. Any advise guy who may have already done this type of swap would be greatly appreciated!
