Hello all!

I am new to the forum. This is my pride and joy its a 2003 ECSB s10 2wd, truck has roughly 55,xxx on the body and it's damn clean for a Michigan truck. The first couple posts are gonna be catching everyone up to speed from the original swap up to the starting point of the turbo build.

Current specs on the truck
  • 2004 5.3 with a 224/224 114lsa cam 7.4 hardened pushrods dual springs ls7 lifters
  • ls6 intake
  • shitty 706 heads with arp head bolts
  • 411 pcm
  • 4l80e with 25,xxx miles stock for the time being
  • 7.5 10 bolt with zexel torsen carrier and 4:10 (it died about 2 weeks ago)
  • charcoal interior that is MINT
  • some flashy autometer gauges lol

Plans for this winter
  • Borg Warner S475 standard cover and cast wheel (for the time being upgrading to a billet wheel next year)
  • TurboSmart race port 50mm BOV
  • TurboSmart powergate 60mm wastegate
  • All stainless steel hot side retaining full exhaust
  • 3200 stall converter and a little shift kit for the 80e
  • gm 2wd s10 offset 8.5 with 3:42s, auburn posi, 30 spline axles and a perfect launch dif cover
  • Some more gauges

Just a little size comparison

I am sure I am forgetting a lot of stuff, I've owned this truck for 4 years.

I am glad to be apart of this forum, I hope you guys enjoy my build!

Haha thanks. Thus thing is a turd though. I'm slowly trying to get it back in shape, had some bad luck with it over the last year and a half.

Nah I haven't changed the drop in over a year. The last thing I did was swap back to 1500 keys because it was at 7" up front and way too low for these roads. Lol.

Thank you!

The s10 has only seen one winter its whole life.

The fullsize was a work truck at my dads shop and they parked it inside every night, only has a little blistering on the wheel archs in the rear the cab is rust free. It also has 174xxx miles on it, stole it for 3600 bucks:happeh:. I have a lot of friends that do body work so I will get the bed fixed and the whole truck resprayed white in the spring when I get the s10 out to drive during the summer.
 
Nothing huge tonight for progress but a little interior work.

So know one makes a 3 gauge pillar pod for the 2003 s10 interior being the headliner and a and b pillars are different than the 98-02 trucks. So I cut up a glowshift 98-02 3 gauge pillar pod and starting cutting it up to mold it into the factory 2003 a pillar.
