What you guys think??

newjack42 · 11-04-2009, 04:46 PM

Yesterday me and a buddy of mine were sitting around tring to come up with a project to keep us busy threw the winter. We are thinkin about takin my old 91 s-10 and converting it to a toy hualer. rippin the box off.(Which i have already done last year wit my half ton and a chain

) Streaching the frame and buildin a flat bed wit dove tail or just more of a ramp style bed. beef up the rear suspension. Plain a haulin are sleds, quads, or bikes. wit it.

We have most everything we would need to do it layin around the shop jsut have to cut some stuff up. but it should keep us busy and be cheaper than buyin a trailer.

Waht you think we are crazy or alright idea?

I like the idea I think that would be cool. But I really know nothing about fab. work so I could not say one way or another. If you go ahead with it, it would be cool to see some pics of the process.

why not? sounds like a cool project to me.

keep in mind the axle rating!

why an S10 for a toy hauler?? seems like it would lack the power and strength to pull any kind of toys around except for ATVs.

That's kinda what I was thinking, but I guess you just have to work with what you've got sometimes.

Maybe a steeper gear and stronger axles

I guess I assumed he would redo all of it encluding an engine and trans.
Something like this.
