Vehicle Description
Chevy never set out to make a mini-truck, let alone start a
show-truck movement that's growing in popularity each year, but
looking at this awesome 1993 Chevrolet S-10, you'd never know it.
With a show-worthy 4.3L V6 installation, amazing bespoke interior,
slammed stance, and a high-visibility custom paint job, it's the
sport truck you wish GM would build. Well, here it is, ready to
turn heads everywhere it goes. Even with a showroom full of
classics, this is the truck that always has a crowd around it when
we pop the hood.
S-10's were always handsome, utilitarian trucks that were all over
the road in the '80s and '90s, but none of them ever looked this
amazing. A cowl induction hood, a custom reworked chrome front
bumper, slick custom chrome grille with integrated side marker
lights, and billet inserts give it a distinctive look that still
looks slightly OEM, although much more attention-grabbing.
Show-quality red paint is anything but subtle, and it was expertly
applied along with hand-worked pinstripes for a little contrast and
trick look. This was obviously a straight truck to begin with and
the guys doing the work knew their stuff because it's laser
straight with nary an imperfection, and the shine and gloss of the
deep finish is about as nice as you'll ever see. Other than the
chrome Bowtie in the grille, this truck was completely shaved of
all badges and door handles, and the bed is absolutely amazing too,
with tons of hours and expert craftsmanship spent on smoothing and
rounding off the tailgate, smoothing and rounding off the corners
inside the bed, and then drowning it in deep red paint. It's
incredibly impressive, and if you know anything about bodywork,
then you know the skill it takes to pull something like this off.
The rear bumper was deleted in lieu of a roll-pan that looks better
than anything OEM, Cadillac Deville taillights were perfectly
integrated into the tailgate, and there's a motorized license plate
that flips up and down between the bed and the cab. The profile is
aggressive thanks to the custom suspension underneath, leaving this
S-10 with a one-of-a-kind presence that's quickly become a staff
favorite here at Streetside. This is a really slick truck!
The builders continued the custom work inside, featuring black
Cipher racing buckets and an awesome fabricated dash that flows
seamlessly into the custom door panels. Shiny red and black are the
primary colors, with a silver pinstripe separating the two, and the
quality of work it took to get the swooping dash to flow into the
trick middle console and also to join door panels is truly
impressive, especially when the doors are closed and it looks like
a single piece of modern art. It's also a comfortable place to hang
out, with good support from the racing seats, lots of stretch-out
room despite the single cab, and a long list of options: power
windows and remote locks, a wood-rimmed billet steering wheeling
atop a chrome tilt column, and a center console-mounted control pad
for the Air Ride system. The plush black carpets are protected by
upscale floor mats and the headliner is taut and neatly finished as
well. Six Auto Meter white-face gauges are centered inside a chrome
bezel in the center of the trick dash, providing the driver with a
very accurate read out of the engine's vitals at all times, and
just below them is an aftermarket Alpine AM/FM/CD head unit that
manages the tunes. It's not often that significant custom changes
to the interior of a vehicle are pulled of so well, but this S-10
gets everything right and it looks so much cooler than the stock
spec.
Under the cowl hood, a GM 4.3L V6 was painted in matching red,
covered in chrome and polished accessories, and then professionally
installed inside the custom engine bay. The V6 in these S-10s was
always bulletproof when well-maintained, but we'll bet you clear
out the service department when you show up in this cool S10. There
are chrome and polished components everywhere you look, including
the Edelbrock carburetor, polished intake, shiny valve covers and
matching air cleaner, and the inner fenders and firewall have been
smoothed and adorned with the same style of pinstriping found on
the exterior of the truck. And boy does it run great. The
transmission is a smooth-shifting 4L60E 4-speed automatic, which
feeds a 10-bolt rear end, and the suspension has been augmented
with front tubular A-arms, a 4-link out back, and a full Air Ride
system with bags front and rear. Providing the killer soundtrack is
a set of long-tube headers that feed into a dual exhaust system
that cuts out right after the Glasspack-style mufflers, giving the
truck just enough rumble to scare the neighbors. Staggered Riddler
chrome wheels finish the insanely cool look, wrapped in 235/45/18
front and 245/40/20 rear performance radials for plenty of
grip.
Mini-trucks like this are insanely cool, but not many are done to
such a high, professional standard while still showing off tricks
everywhere you look. It looks amazing, still drives like a truck is
supposed to, and feels fully engineered, but since its one of none,
it's always going to attract attention. Call today!
