My '84 S10 350 Poncho powered truck...
 
Here's a little budget build I've been working on lately...

1984 Chevy S10 with a mild 350 Poncho (72cc heads, performer rpm, little cam etc.).. Stock A-body motor mounts from a '72 Lemans, Milodon 7qt. oil pan and cut crossmember.

It'll have a TH-200r4 trans and shortened 12 bolt with 3.73:1 gears...

fun!

Nice work.
You should find some S-15 badges to put on it. Pontiac engines are right at home in a GMC.

se428bandit 02-26-2012 01:58 PM

Looks nice, i wanted to build my S-15 that way.

RUDOLFSSON 03-29-2012 09:25 AM

Here's some fresh pics... Need to get the front end up next.

Nice little truck. Can't wait to see it when it's finished. I had a S10 blazer 2 wheel drive 2 door that had a small block Olds in it. Done up with a Bravada grill and interior.

'ol Pinion head 04-15-2012 04:27 PM

Looks sharp!

What front springs did you use?

455Grandville 04-15-2012 06:52 PM

Niiiiiiiiice

Stuckinda60s 04-16-2012 07:06 PM

Nice, better than new!

RUDOLFSSON 05-04-2012 10:47 AM

Thanks guys... I have 4 cyl springs in it now.. yikes!!! Will do an upgrade later..

Anyone have or know of a 82-90 GMC grille?!?! I'm looking for one :)

Sidponcho 05-04-2012 12:50 PM

Nice build!!!
I know its a preference thing, but a 5 speed would be so much fun in that truck!
I had a new 83 GMC S15 Gypsy with a 2.8 and 5 speed. It was a fun truck. Yours will be a BLAST

Nice project!!

What was cut on the crossmember? Also, what application did the exhaust manifolds come from? Was the steering column modifed?

Thanks for the pictures!

RUDOLFSSON 05-05-2012 07:09 PM

Yes the crossmember needed cutting.. nothing major. I'm using two RH manifolds as you can see in the pics above... the one on the pass. side is from a '69 GTO and the driver side is from my manifold collection (I'll have to check on the number).
Yes I modified the steering linkage that goes from the firewall to the steering gear box. I'll post pics soon... I've done tons of work on it lately.

Kris.

Thanks
