1989 Chevy S10 with Throttle Body EFI SBC 350, 700R4 trans and locking 10 bolt rear. Truck was built with good parts to provide a stout chassis to be a reliable, drive anywhere vehicle. The front suspension has Ride Tech tubular upper and lower control arms. Firestone 2500lb air bags. All of the tie rods and steering parts are new Moog brand parts. Front sway bar is ZQ8 S-10. Front brakes are 98-03 Blazer new dual piston calipers with drilled and slotted rotors, braided stainless brake hoses, mounted onto Bell Tech 2102 drop spindles with Moog unit bearings. Rear has new parking brake cables, new brake shoes, hardware and drums. The suspension in the rear has Ride Tech air bar set up. The rear frame has not been c-notched yet and has one area of rust repair where the notch will go. The Air supply system has two Viair 480 compressors and an 8 gallon tank where the spare tire belongs and analog controls from the glove box. The Truck stops incredible with better brakes and the HydroBooster from a Chevy Astro van. The steering shaft is a from a Jeep Cherokee and is substantially better with improved feel and response than the GM rag joint shaft.

The engine has a Edelbrock 4bbl crab intake and a TBI adapter plate and was intended to be switched to carburetor it uses Hedman headers and is a otherwise stock later model SBC 350. Cooling is through a stock 4.3 radiator with dual Flex-a-lite fans. There's also a new Optima yellow top battery. The transmission is a 700R4 with a shift kit. It is mounted into the frame with a G Force transmission cross member that allows for the true dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Everything under the truck is tucked above the frame rails. The wheels are old school Eagle Alloy minitruckin' wheels 17x8 with 40 series tires. Inside is very stock and some of it needs to be redone (dash has two cracks and needs new carpet) it has a new Grant steering wheel and a freshly upholstered Leather/Swede stock bench seat, and headliner. The body has good paint and is BMW Laguna Seca Blue. It is not a ISCA show paint job, but its far, far better than a quick Maaco job. The only custom work to the body is the shaved front bumper bolts, fuel door, and antenna.

I've owned the truck for about 4 years and have driven it as far as 300 miles one way to travel to car shows. It averages about 22 mpg on the highway at 70 mph. There is one thing the new owner must do, mount a permanent fuel tank. The stock fuel tank is nested in the bed for right now but it is not a good safe place for it. The inside of the bed and the firewall/inner fenders are not paint color matched. The vehicle is currently in winter storage so the pictures are not 100% up to date. Not shown in the pictures are the door panels, and some other details. I also have Corvette C5 calipers and some other parts that can go with it if the price is high enough. Please email me with any and all questions.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Before Chevrolet's Redline, there was the Saturn Red Line

Thu, Feb 9 2017

While Chevy rolls out Redline special editions across more of the lineup at this year's Chicago Auto Show, we've been eating some 'member berries and started thinking about the last time GM used the term. Back in 2004, Saturn rolled out Red Line (two words) editions of the Ion and Vue. The lineup was joined by the Sky Red Line in 2007, and the second-generation Vue kept the tradition going in 2008. This was in the heady days of the mid-2000s, before the financial crisis and GM's bankruptcy reorganization that saw the end of Saturn. The press release headline for the 2008 Sky is now cringe-worthy: "Hot-selling Sky helps drive Saturn product renaissance." Performance lineups were the hot new thing, as automakers attempted to cash in on the tuner trend popularized by The Fast and the Furious. Chevy had SS models, Pontiac had GXP, and Saturn had Red Line. Across the Detroit Metro area, Dodge had a slew of SRT models, and Ford's Special Vehicle Team brought us the SVT Lightning pickup, the SVT Focus, and a smattering of hopped-up Mustangs. The performance cred of Red Line models varied from car to car. The Ion Red Line shared the same engine as the original Chevy Cobalt SS, a 205-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 65 hp more than stock. Car and Driver tested one with a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and said the Ion "tears down the wall that has separated enthusiasts from the Saturn brand for so long." The Vue Red Line, meanwhile, came with the same optional Honda-sourced 3.5-liter V6 you could get in the regular Vue, and added a stiffer, lower suspension, bigger wheels with more aggressive rubber, and recalibrated steering assist. When the Vue was redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Vue Red Line was a similar proposition. The engine was now from GM, and up 7 horsepower to 257, but you could get it in both Red Line and XE trim. Aside from the tire and suspension upgrades, Red Line models now came with a unique front fascia and rear exhaust cutouts. The most exciting Red Line, of course, was the high-performance version of the Sky roadster, which shared underpinnings with its Pontiac Solstice twin. This model came with GM's hot 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo, good for 260 horsepower. The extra power was crucial in covering up the Sky's unfortunate manual gearbox ratios, which left the non-turbo model aching for torque in lower gears. As we all know, Saturn was taken by the grim reaper in 2009 after an attempt to sell the brand to the Penske Group.
