I thought I would post a picture of my S10 4X4 Vortec 4.3 5 speed.
My brother bought this truck new in 1997 from Westwood Chevy. He used it everyday until 2004 when he bought his 2500 Silverado so the truck sat in his driveway only driven once in a while and then it developed a rod knock around 157,000 miles. After a year of sitting he gave it to me and I had a new crate motor installed. I have owned it for 2.5 years now and it has 178,000 on the body/drivetrain except for the motor. The only thing I did to the paint was buff it, this is the original paint from 1997. It has some mods done to it; a Mufflex 3" catback w/ dual 2.5" out w/ 3.5" tips, a K&N cold air kit, 98-03 outside mirrors, a 2003 black cloth 60/40 bench seat and recently NOS Chevy alunimum wheels and center caps. just wondering what you guys think. Thanks Jason

Roll bar with lights will make it pure sexy

[maroman88]

I was looking into getting one. I would like to get a cowl induction hood and paint the grill the body color, replace the gold bowtie with the black one I have and smoke the front signals in the bumper. I have a Lund moonviser for it already painted, but my friend dislikes them and he says it would "not look good."

[WiMiMc]

do you plan on swapping the blazer lights in?

[91chevyz28]

I did look into it. I don't know if want to.

[1320B4U]

Yes we did.


Whats going on man. I figured it was you, no one else keeps a car that clean.:mrgreen: ....and you missed the show that day when i tried getting the rear spoiler of the firebird into the vette...needless to say it was hanging out the passenger window.

LOL....I was wondering how you were going to get the wing home in the Vette. It's great having a truck, you can haul anything you need for home or car. I saw you liked my blue 1991 Z28 in the members ride section, thanks for the compliment. If it is nice this weekend I will take pictures of my project car and post them.

Lift it :bertstare:

I would love to but I am setting money aside for my project car.

Nice clean looking S10.

[91chevyz28]

I can not believe I recieved more compliments on my truck on a Camaro forum than the S10 forum I posted a picture on. I just wanted to say thanks for the compliments to everyone.

[1320B4U]

Car guys know when something is taken care of regardless of make/model. Whether is an '86 omni ghl or 1991 zr-1. I personally thought i had a small block in it when i pulled up, subtle duals and whatnot.

Thats because 80% of them are obsessed with dragging their truck on pavement

You are 100% correct.

One of my friends thought it had a 350 swap when he first heard it start.

Gotta love a clean little S10

Pics of my fathers s15 which i took over and got redone. Learned how to drive stick on this thing when i was 14...2.5l/5spd...2/3 drop (2wd)...bought for $7200 new and got 229k out of it on 1 pair of brakes, clutch lasted to 180k..value cover never even off..was the best vehicle we've ever owned. Miss that thing as i sold it to a 75year old woman who then sold it to a young kid that beat the hell outta it..common story.

You should swap in the newer style grill and headlights IMO otherwise not bad

[deadtrend1]

Nice little truck, if its your daily, just leave it alone and drive it. Spend money elsewhere...

I Just want a cowl hood for it and thanks for the comment.

[drmrman]

Good luck with it. Keep it clean. And keep up with the maintance. Itll last you for ever.

[1320B4U]

Never can go wrong w/a cowl hood....simple yet elegant on any gm product.

[91chevyz28]

Thanks and I like the project you have. My Brother is building a 1953 Henry J. He is turning it into a gasser.

[drmrman]

Very cool. Well good luck! And don't mod it. Take it from someone who's modded every single one of his s series trucks. Keep it stock and rock a clean daily!!!!

[8hnpSS]

those trucks make perfect dailys. good luck with it looks clean as hell
