1991 S10 4x4 EXTENDED CAB. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE WOODS FOR 6yrs WHEN I GOT IT AND WASNT RUNNING.  IT HAS A MOSTLY STOCK 4.3L ENGINE AND 5spd TRANNY WITH A DUAL FRICTION CLUTCH. I REPLACED ALL THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONETS, SWAPPED IN A K&N FILTER, REPLACED ALL THE VACUUM LINES, HOSES AND BELTS AND GAVE THE ENGINE A LITTLE TUNE UP AND NOW IT RUNS GREAT. I CUT THE EXHAUST BEHIND THE CAT DUE TO THE REST OF IT BEING ROTTED OUT. ITS GOT A 3in. BODY LIFT AND THE TORSION BARS ARE CRANKED 1.5in. I ADDED A SET OF 33x12.50x15 REM. MUD BRUTE TIRES ON CRAGAR 15x10 BLACK STEEL AND A STEERING STABILIZER TO CONTROL THEM. I SPRAYED THE ENTIRE BODY IN BED-LINER. I ALSO SANDED DOWN THE RUST COVERED FRAME AND SPRAYED IT IN BED-LINER. I TRIMMED THE FENDERS TO PREVENT THE TIRES FROM RUBBING. IT HAS (4) 5x7in. AUXILLERY LIGHTS MOUNTED ON THE HEADACHE RACK AND (2) 6in. IN FRONT. THERE ARE TWIN SCOOPS ON THE HOOD AND SIDE WINDOW COVERS. CUSTOM 4in. PIPE BUMPER IN REAR AND CUSTOM BUMPER COMING SOON FOR FRONT. I ALSO BUILT A SPARE TIRE CARRIER IN THE BED TO CARRY THE MATCHING WHEEL. THE THING EVERYONE NOTICES ABOUT THE TRUCK THOUGH, IS THE BED-LINED BODY. ITS AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE I CATCH TRYING TO TOUCH AND FEEL IT. MY GOAL IS TO KEEP IT RELATIVELY LOW AND WIDE TO KEEP IT QUICK AND NIMBLE, WHILE MAINTAINING GOOD GROUND CLEARENCE.
