This is the truck I wanted to buy since high school. Of course, that was a bit out of reach at the time. After the purple truck incident, I was driving around, and saw this for sale. I bought the truck I always wanted, and yup, I changed it! |
'92 S-10 4x4 4.3L V6 Auto Black interior, pushbutton 4wd, just great. |
So I tweaked the torsion bars up 2", put in 3" lift leafs in the back. The repaint wasn't necessary, but after having such a great paint job on the purple one, I needed to match it. This was a 4x4, so the chrome rocker panels, trim, and pushbar seemed right. In the future, I'm sticking to a monochrome style. PIAA dual lights - perfect for those 3 hour early AM drives home! Ventshades, billet antenna, Rear tube bumper with built-in Class IV hitch, Dual exhuast...this one got toys.. |
Summer Clothes: ARE Chrome Snipers 255-70R15 Grand Am G/T street tires |
Winter Clothes: Factory ARE rims painted black 30 x 9.50-15 BFG All-Terrain K/O These tires have saved my butt numerous times. Of course, it would be easier if I didn't drive where I wasn't supposed to... |
I built a bike rack to plug into the receiver hitch, complete with its own taillights. |
Snuglid Snugtop tonneau cover- highly recommended.. |
This truck works, too. It's put on MANY miles hauling my drumsets. If only the box was 2" taller, I could close (and lock) the tonneau cover. Obviously, none of the engineers at Chevy played drums when this truck was designed. |
For you truck people, also hiding underneath are Rancho RS9000 shocks and steering stabilizer. |
Traded off to the dealer for the Grand AM |
I got a little bored, and found the red paint. Yes, that's the Rancho logo in black. |
The exhaust was cut of behind the cat, and we ran two pipes straight out the tail. I can't tell you how many people thought it sounded like a V8! |
