1934 extended cab 4x4

[Bigfoot 455]

Been working on it a while but kept putting updates in the introduction section. Here goes: always wanted a truck, Pontiac quit making them in 29 (30 model year) so decided to build my own. It is a 1934 sitting on a stretched 2004 S10 4x4 chassis with a 2004 Z71 5.3/4L60 drive train. Started with a 4 door sedan, ending up with an extended cab.

Thankz for the update.  Does it start?  See some electrical a steering wheel N brake pedal.  All you need is cooling system to run it for a couple minutes.  Awesome.

It does run! I got to drive it out of the barn on Monday. I fixed a throttle problem on Tuesday so am golden now. The wiring you see on the floor in the next to last pic is for the heated leather seats. I still have to make the harness nice and clamp it into place.

This is so cool.  Gettin waay ahead of your project, but any plans to make a hood?  Stretch an original?

JUSTA6, Everything is in the same location as the original would have been, as long as I didn't screw up! These were originally a straight 8, so plenty of room. I've been playing around with other stuff as I plan on the doing the hood and sides last. That way I can drive it sooner!

Rear fender is just tacked together and bolted on but it really makes it look like a truck and gives me some much needed ambition.

Bigfoot - what's your inspiration for going for the Pontiac pickup theme?

It looks great by the way. Obviously people are going to scratch their heads and say "when did Pontiac make a pickup?", which I'm sure is part of your master plan.

Guess it Justa looks like you've stretched the engine compartment, but a straight 8 is quite the beast.  Plenty of room for your powerplant vision.  Looks like it all tucked in nicely.

Always been a Pontiac fan. Can't afford the very rare Pontiac truck so decided to build my own. Being a large individual, I decided to go extended cab, and I just thought making it 4x4 would be different than just throwing the body on a s10 frame, like everybody else.

It's very tight. the driver fender has to be notched a bit for the power steering pump and they miss the fan by about 1.5 inches per side.
