In the Facebook group Primer Rust and Rat Rods<\/a> S10s come up quite a bit. Over the last few years\u00a0S10 frames have become an incredibly popular option for those building just about anything.<\/p>\n At this point there may not be a project an S10 frame\u00a0hasn\u2019t<\/em> been thrown under. As a result S10 bodies have become somewhat expendable. Or at least expendable to those with no love for first generation s10s in their stock(ish) form.<\/p>\n A few days ago Chris Stagg posted photos of his S10 which one can only assume was piligided for parts somewhere along the way.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n Making lemons out of lemonade, Chris got out his grinder and created this one of a kind hot rod.<\/p>\n Chopped and shortened, the truck sits on a custom chassis that looks like it uses a hint of the original s10 suspension.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The big wheels and stock hub caps were the plan from the start and, honestly, I kind of dig the overall look.<\/p>\n It\u2019s weird, but, intriguing.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n Body modifications on this truck are pretty plentiful and the most obvious is the chop. Combine that with a healthy channel and you\u2019ve got a vehicle that is roughly three apples high.<\/p>\n It looks as though it would be un-driveable, but the owner does manage to get in and drive the thing.<\/p>\n At this point he\u2019s just driving it around his yard, but still, that alone is quite a feat.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t look like the most comfortable ride, but he wouldn\u2019t be the first person to put style behind comfort.<\/p>\n <\/a> There\u2019s currently no real front end on the truck, but Chris is trying out the two looks above.<\/p>\n Judging by the radiator placement in the video it looks as though he\u2019s leaning more towards the Jeep side of things, but with a project like this you never really know.<\/p>\n All in all the truck isn\u2019t exactly something I would build, but I am not mad at it either. Of the S10 \u201crods\u201d that have made WTF Friday<\/a> posts this is one of the best.<\/p>\n
