So i bought a new daily last week, got myself a 1989 S10 4cylinder 5speed truck only has 98,000 miles on it. Got it for $600 because the dumbass i bought it from broke off a spark plug and thought it would never come out:rolleye:. Well he was wrong came out easily and now it runs like a low mileage 4cylinder, Truck has been lowerd a few inches, newer front grill, and rear rollpan :Thumb:.

[fmstruck]

At 100mph, on a dark night, looking the other way, that looks pretty good.

THANKS! Thats exactly the look i was going for!!:pissed:

[fmstruck]

It actually looks a ton better than it did in the first pics. My father-in-law always says that about the 100mph on a dark night thing. Wasn't serious.

[Grey03GT]

now it needs a tree fiddy.

[HINZ28]

older s-10s suck on gas anyway...I can get 16 + with my carbed 350. Then you can just unplug a few spark plug boots and then it will be in 4 or 6 cylinder mode.

Truck is a 4cy and for once jeffo is right, does pretty damn good so far

ls1 t56 always do good, to bad i cant drive it to school tho :joe:

[HINZ28]

Any one know where i can find a box? just want one that is fixable mine is not worth fixing

[350-10]

Just have to check salvage yards...I never had any luck so I ended up just fixing mine up.

[silversurfer]

so how hard is it to drop a 350 or LS1 into a S10? I found a nice S10 xtreme I like and wanted to know if there is a **** ton of fabrication that goes into droping a v8 into these trucks

[82355]

Talk to Andrew6904 or whatever his sign in is. He put an LS1/T56 into an S10.

[GC8U]

Damn, I like that a lot. I love S10's. Looks like you cleaned it up perty good.

A friend of mine dropped a 350 in his and isn't too car savvy. I think they make a kit with the mounts and headers to drop in a SBC

[HINZ28]

ya the swap itself wouldnt be that hard they make kits for just about everything, the computer and alll the extra **** is where i would run into problems

[HINZ28]

heres a couple more pics of the truck since i never really posted any good ones

Yeah, his was a carb->carb swap so it wasn't too tough

[HINZ28]

Well i am debating wether to redo this whole truck but that depends on if i can find a box for it or not.

Anyone know of any 1st gen short boxes out there?



Updated pics also, i picked up sone iroc wheels for it

[96speedZ28]

Why are they called "Tahoe"? It's a truck, not a sport utility.

[HINZ28]

Its just an option that they give them, has A/C and the nicer interior, if you have ever looked at jesses his is a sport and has the shitty interior and no options

[HINZ28]

^^That truck looks silly with those low pro's and clear corners. The one with the torque lites is sweet though.

[HINZ28]

ya i just like the color, i would never do either of those things
