what he said, the axles came with 4.5" x 5 and I needed 4.75" x 5
I could have gotten new wheels but that would have been a pain if I ever wanted to swap them out later.

OIC...forgot about the F**d rear axle.
yeah a buddy of mine who is a ford guy always gives me crap about that. it has discs, a good rebuildable posi, and 31 spline axles. there is no way I could have hunted down a 12 bolt for the same price or built a 10 bolt to hold up.

I've been researching an S10 swap and it seems like everyone goes with the 8.8. Must be a reason

Well I ordered a welder last night(lincoln 180hd 240v mig), ordered my wiring 2 weeks ago and am back from school. I'm starting back on her today so some progress should be up soon.
still need to
-install fuel pump
-install gas tank
-finish rear end
-install traction bars
-fix serpentine system
-install brake system
-install headers
-fab exhaust system
-install fenders, hood, and core support
-get computer tuned
-intall new wiring harness
-relocate battery
and a bunch of other little things.
then I need to hope I did it right, this is my first build after all....
hoping to have everything ready by the time my wiring gets here in mid july, and have it on the road by the end of july.
But we all know how project deadlines go...

here she is with a new belt routed for the car style intake. if you do it like this you will need a spacer about 3/4 inches thick or a ton of washers, a longer bolt, and a belt that is 102 inches long to 102.5 inches long, any shorter or longer and it wont work. it took me 4 belts to find that out. 100 and 101 were both too short, and a 102.7 fit but didn't have enough tension on it.
did anyone notice my detail work on the alt bracket?
just waiting for my welder now, scheduled delivery is tuesday
