About my S10

1988 Chevy S10. I bought this truck in 2005. Its been on the road every summer,and hopefully year round now thats its pretty much done.The only remaining parts of the original truck are the 2 frame rails and the cab,everything else has been replaced.Solid axle conversion. First it was leaf/leaf,then coil/leaf,and now its full air ride. 3-link rear with radius arm front and a York style compressor with an 8 gal. tank. Shocks are Rancho rs5000's. 33" Kumho KL71's on old American Racing Outlaws. Engine is a 1993 6.5l turbo DIESEL. Its has a rebuilt BAE turbo kit     and a 3" exhaust. Dana 44's. Powertrax locker in the front. Rebuilt and built 700r4 with a Transgo kit and 231 case. 8,000# winch in a custom bumper. L.E.D. brake and parking lights. Custom paint. Bed mounted spare.All custom built crossmembers. Bushwacker cut outs. Window,hood, and roof visors. Less the pinstripe and tranny rebuild, I have done all the work on the truck,paint,body,welding and mechanical. It was built in my shop with simple tools-mig,torch,drill and grinder(no plasma,lathes or machine tools) . It pulls 18mpg around town without the   converter hooked up(still work to be done). Its got a Panasonic dvd,10 disk changer,10"sub and a PS2. Cobra CB, Honda Prelude seats,Quicksilver shifter,Grant wheel and new upholstery. Its my DD and its a blast to drive.

A Diesel S10? Wicked! Don't see too many S-10's let alone ones with a 6.5 in them!
