This is a 92 S-10 with a GM Ramjet 350 crate motor, 5 speed stick, Posi Rear, Air Ride Suspension, A/C, etc.... It is a previous show truck, that has a lot of money spent on it. Excuse the long description, but i want you to know what you are buying. Even if you were to just use the frame, suspension, and drive train, to make a street rod, it is worth the asking price. A lot of street rods are being built on S-10 chassis's. Some companies are building bodies to fit directly on a S-10 chassis. Such as Superior glass works. They are building 37-38 Chevy Cabriolet and Sedan delivery bodies that are a direct fit. Check out the superiorglassworks website. Also see the last picture.
I bought this truck in New Hampshire almost a year ago. My plan was to paint it a solid color and make it a cruise night, nice day driver vehicle. Time constraints and needing money for home improvements, meant I never got to it. This isn't my only project vehicle. I am selling the truck as I got it. I have all the New Hampshire paperwork for the truck. I never registered it in NY. I have a carfax for the truck. Yes the truck has a lot of miles on the carfax. 255,000 But the truck has been completely rebuilt. This truck was chosen because it was a clean, accident free, rust free, Texas truck. The truck went from Texas to New Hamshire in 2005. The GM ramjet 350 crate motor didn't come out until 2006. The truck hasn't had that many miles put on it since the drive train, motor, suspension, etc... was replaced. Over 90% of the mileage was put on it in Texas, when it was a stock truck. Engine: GM Ram Jet 350 Crate Motor listed for $5834.97 in the Summit Catalog. It puts out 350 hp at 5200 rpm and 400 ft/lbs torque at 3500 rpm. A Ramjet 350 service manual is included. Body: Rust free, dent free, except for the damage to the hood and roof from the hood flying up on previous owner. Shaved door handles. The poppers don't work with the remote. They probably need to be replaced. Because it was a Texas truck, the rockers and floors are spotless (see pictures) There are a few paint chips around the doors. Passenger side mirror is cracked. The back wall of the cab was modified to fit a sub woofer and amp. The front wall of the bed was cut out and re-welded in on a slant to clear the cab wall modifications. (see pics) The rear roll pan is welded in and the license plate drops down with an electric motor. The tailgate handle is shaved and flipped to the inside of the tailgate. ( I have a set of clean stock doors available at extra cost if you want them ) Audio: It has an Alpine CDA-9883 MP3/WMA/AAC receiver and CD player in the dash. It has two speakers in the kick panels. The back wall of the cab had two square holes cut in it. (see pics) Two metal boxes, were welded in, to house the amplifier and sub woofer. (The sub woofer was missing when I bought the truck.) The amplifier is an Alpine V/12. The antenna hole was shaved on the fender and the antenna is above the rear view mirror on the windshield. Exhaust: It has stainless exhaust from the headers back. (see pics) There are two pipes running from the headers to the cats. Then two cats running in to one large muffler. Then there are two pipes exiting the muffler than come out in front of the passenger side rear wheel. The headers are Headmans. They are uncoated, but are solid with just surface rust. Trans and Rear: It's a Borg Warner 5 speed. I'm not sure which exact model. The rear is a posi. The drive shaft spins about 3 1/2 rotations for one full rotation of the wheel. Which would work out to be a 3:50 ratio. That's just an approximation. Not 100% accurate. Interior: Nice shape. Tilt steering column. Headliner is good. Door panels good. Power windows. Bench seat good. Dash pad no cracks. It's a comfortable truck. I'm 6'5" and fit comfortably with the seat all the way back and the wheel tilted up. Wheels and Tires : 20 inch Boss wheels and 245/35 ZR20 95W Toyo Proxes 4 tires with good tread. Since I'm over 50 these wheels didn't appeal to me. I have a 17" set of American Racing Salt Flat rims and tires I was going to use. They are available at an extra cost. Suspension: A lot of money spent here. Complete suspension replacement with tubular front upper + lower control arms. Dropped spindles. 4 link rear suspension. It's a Ride Tech system. The front lower control arms are $600. Uppers are $400. Spindles $300. Four link rear suspension $1200. Shock wave shocks at least $700 a pair, depending on options. It looks like it has the $1000 analog 4 way air control system. The other systems available are more expensive. (I'm not 100% sure, this is the first air ride vehicle I have owned) There is a leak somewhere on the front suspension. Both front shocks leak down in about a 1/2 hour. i would think it would have to be a line or a valve, not a shock, because both sides go down, not one. The rear shocks stay up for days. If you wanted to run this truck with regular coil/leaf lowered suspension, you could sell all this off and recoup some of your investment. Check out the ridetech website and price these parts out. Also see the picture of the ridetech website. $5000 worth of parts. Glass: All glass is good. New windshield. Sliding back window. |

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

IIHS gives good ratings to 4 of 8 midsize pickups in crash test
Wed, Sep 6 2017Versions of the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab earned top ratings in a new crash test of midsize pickup trucks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while two versions of the Nissan Frontier earned marginal ratings. But the organization gave poor marks to all eight pickups tested for their dim headlights. Overall, four of the eight pickups evaluated earned good ratings for protecting occupants in all five crash test categories — the Tacoma double cab along with crew cab versions of the Colorado, Canyon and Tacoma. But the poor headlights and lack of an automatic emergency braking system blocked any of the pickups from qualifying for the IIHS's Top Safety Pick awards. The study looked at two pickup body styles using 2017 models: crew cabs, which have four full doors and two full rows of seating, and extended cabs, which have two full front doors, two smaller rear doors and compact second-row seats. It subjected each to five tests, and it evaluated the performance of front crash prevention systems and headlights. The Toyota Tacoma crew cab was the only pickup in that class that earned a good rating for structure in the small overlap test, which replicates what happens when a vehicle clips a tree, pole or another vehicle that has crossed the center line. The model's Access Cab extended-cab version was rated similarly, though its structure was rated acceptable. "This group of small pickups performed better in the small overlap front test than many of their larger pickup cousins," says David Zuby, the Institute's executive vice president and chief research officer. "The exception was the Nissan Frontier, which hasn't had a structural redesign since the 2005 model year." The extended-cab versions of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon earned acceptable ratings, while both the Nissan Frontier king-cab and crew-cab models were rated marginal. Toyota says its 2018 Tacoma will feature upgraded headlights and a standard autobraking system that can detect pedestrians. "Headlights are basic but vital safety equipment. Drivers shouldn't have to give up the ability to see the road at night when they choose a small pickup," Zuby said.
