In this episode of Patina Pitstop I lower my daily driver S-10. I also swap out the wheels with a couple of cool tricks on how to prep them for paint.

“Did I lower it enough?” It’s never enough... I’ve always loved that first generation body-style...I always wanted one. I had a couple of friends who had them. I did put a clutch in for my one friend who wasn’t mechanical. Your truck looks good, I like it!

I have a '93 S-10, 2 door, 2 wheel drive, short bed. It came with a 2.8L EFI V6 and a 5 speed. It now has a carbureted 383ci V8 and a Muncie "rock crusher" 4 speed, as well as a Ford 8.8 rear axle. I didn't lower it. I wanted it to be drivable. I put 225/70-14 BFG Radial T/As on 14x6 Camaro Rallys in the front, and huge 275/60-15 Radial T/As on mid '70s 15x8 Corvette Rallys in the rear. Quite a few other things too, but that is the big stuff. I tried my best to make it look like an early '70s muscle car, and I think it turned out well. It has a true dual exhaust out the back, with glasspacks, and just over 400hp at the rear wheels at 5400 rpm. Burnouts are super easy. It's almost hard not to do one. You have to take it easy on the pedal. I bought all new aftermarket reproduction rally wheels, trim rings, and center caps. The 14x6 Camaro and 15x8 Corvette rallys are exactly the same other than size. All in all I have over $2000 into tires and wheels. Did you check the pinion angle? It needs RWL tires, trim rings, and a cowl hood.

Looks good man. Perfect height, because you can always put bigger wheels and tires on it, for when you need more traction for the extra bald eagles you get from that 8 cylinder in the shape of a V. Hahah.

What size are those rally rims? I just bought an '87 S-10. It has original wheels on it, but came with rally in bed. They're 15×7 with 1" spacers. I like my tires to be tucked under wheel well and not sticking out. Would that size (15 × 7 rim) stick outside the fender? Nice truck!⚡👍⚡
