Vehicle Description
1995 Chevrolet S10 Pickup
Chevrolet introduced the compact S10 in 1983 to meet the demand for
smaller, fuel efficient trucks and with the S15 Jimmy, smaller
SUV's. The successful square bodied first gen trucks sold well and
went virtually unchanged for ten years. In 1994, a complete
redesign was introduced in the second generation and while some of
the underpinnings remained the same, some originally sourced from
the G-body platform, the exterior and interiors were rounded and
refreshed and a mid-cycle restyle took place in 1998.
For consignment, a 1995 Chevrolet S10 showing 117,737 miles which
are unverifiable. The truck has been customized from stem to stern,
and this is not an uncommon platform for customization and serves
as the canvas for cosmetic treatments, race ready versions,
lowriders, and a myriad of other styles that the S10 lends itself
to. This is just one man's interpretation and we like what we
see!
Exterior
Painted in Blue, the custom touches begin in the front where a
billet style grille fills the gaps of the body colored surround and
an SS style hood scoop with stamped inlet holes behind some
elaborate pinstripe decor, all above a custom chrome front bumper.
From the side, we note shaved door handles and 20-inch Vision
Legend wheels with staggered sized 35 series tires, all riding on
an air ride system but sitting low in the parked position. The rear
is a real show, beginning with a roll pan in place of a bumper,
Altezza style tail lights, and a wild laughing, flaming skull
airbrushed graphic on the tailgate which has been customized to
receive a license plate canted and to the left of center. A bird's
eye view reveals a custom sliding sunroof with an old school vinyl
cover and a glossy body keyed tonneau cover looking very much like
blue ice, under which is the air ride pump and tank and a cutout in
the bed to allow for the lifting hardware. Imperfections include
some paint chips.
Interior
The custom interior begins with a gray tweed door panel accompanied
by a black vinyl mid panels with billet style window crank, and a
speaker in the corner along with some lower storage. Saddle leather
low back bucket seats offer a soft perch and are in decent shape
with some slight marking on the ingress point for the driver. A
Colorado Custom steering wheel makes a dramatic appearance as a
polished metal piece on a saddle colored column that leads to the
blue framed dash with a white faced gauge panel instrumental and a
series of toggle switches to the left. Over on the right, a
touchscreen system with AM/FM/CD and a basic A/C control panel,
while a second screen is found in front of the passenger, above the
glovebox, surrounded by the camel plastic dash. The center hump
wears a billet shifter with camel leather boot just in front of the
control module for the air ride system. Plush tan carpet covers the
floor and tan velour covers the headliner and surrounds the
sunroof.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, an Al's Toybox 355ci crate V8, fueled by a 4-barrel
carburetor and backed by an NV5000 5-speed manual transmission is
sending power to the 10 bolt rear. Slowing and stopping is
accomplished via power brakes with front disc and rear drum.
Undercarriage
Generally driver quality underneath with plenty of surface rust on
the frame and other components, and a bit of residual oil on the
pans, but otherwise clean. The airbags and accompanying hardware
and tubing are visible underneath along with the suspension that
consists of single leaf springs with airbags in back and airbags in
front on the independent suspension. A single exhaust flows through
a Turbo muffler before dumping under the truck.
Drive-Ability
It's not often we step down into a truck, but this one is low and
the wide seats provide a comfortable throne and the 355 starts up.
Pressure immediately builds in the tank, but we'll roll low onto
the test loop where the truck handles well and has decent
acceleration. Our consignor notes the front air bags leak, and a
few other things make our checklist as non functioning. That
includes the brake lights and reverse lights. Attention will also
need to be directed to the hood that doesn't open, a noisy
transmission, and the previously mentioned airbags which we found
leak down quickly. Beyond that, all other functions operate as they
should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Whether it's a car show or cruise down Main Street on a Friday
night, this S10 is a stand out and your initiation into the
impassioned world of mini trucks. Truck people in general are a
special breed, and the mini truck crowd dances to their own beat,
but if you know, you know. This is a unique truck that has all the
right ingredients and an uncommon custom here at Classic Auto Mall.
