You should really be able to tow anything with one of these.

Looks like it may bolt up to a stock S-10 bell housing. May have to extend the grill a bit but it appears this set-up may be worth the minor sheet metal mods.[/i][/b]

Good point on the front end. I will double up on the shocks and may have to add a hood scoop for clearance. The stock Chevy universal joints, transmission and rear should be O. K. I'm not sure about the tires. Need advice. Think I can get it by the pollution police? I may have to set it up for off road use only.
