*350 Ram Jet Engine, 5 Speed, Air Ride* Street Rod Shop Truck C-10 Hot Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Manorville, New York, United States
|
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. |

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
