I'm selling my custom 2000 Chevy S10 with the 4cyl 2.2l engine and 5 speed manual transmission. I just got the truck a couple months ago and I love it but I have to sell it for financial reasons otherwise i'd keep it. The truck was a project as most highly customized vehicles are so it needs some little things here and there to be 100% perfect but everything works and looks great as it sits. The truck has a high quality air bag suspension system that was professionally installed by the previous owner. The truck lays frame completely front and rear and looks awesome cruising down the road or layed out. This thing turns heads wherever it goes. It also has 18" chrome rims and the tires have about 60% tread left. Other custom work done to the truck includes a GMC Sonoma front end conversion with a more stylish bumper, grill, and headlights, a Chevy Blazer interior swap changing it from a bench seat to two buckets and a center console, an aftermarket 12 Gal fuel cell in the bed with a high flow inline fuel pump, a custom two tone red and black paint job with red metal flake throughout, relocated door handles to the bottom of the doors, a shaved gas door, a shaved tailgate handle, a black tonneau cover, smoked tail lights, and a Hurst T-handle shifter. The previous owner also did an electric radiator fan conversion which frees up some power and raises the gas mileage a bit. The aftermarket inline fuel pump makes the truck hard to start when it's cold so you'll have to crank it 3-5 times in the morning but it always starts. The suspension parts are all from Thorbecke Brothers, look them up they make the best parts for S10's. The front end has their tubular control arms and Airlift Dominator bags. The inner fender liners are cut to allow the truck to lay frame with 18" rims. The rear has their 5 link setup with frame notch, shocks, and Airlift Dominator bags for a high quality ride. There are 2 Viair 480C compressors hooked up to I think an 8 Gal tank in the bed. There are 8 valves for full FBSS control and a 10 switch control box in the cab that does FBSS, each corner independently, pancake, and see-saw. I believe the air line and valves are 1/2" as the truck raises and drops really fast. There are 3 air gauges in the a pillar on the drivers side for tank pressure and each bags pressure. The bad stuff is there are a couple dents, one on the passenger side of the bed above the wheel well and the passenger side of the tailgate is smashed in. The bed corners and edges of the roll pan in the back have a little cracked paint from the bed hitting the ground when dropping the truck. The gas gauge doesn't work because of the aftermarket fuel cell so I just use the trip meter when I fill up. The truck gets about 24 mpg. There is no emergency brake as the previous owner removed it because it hung below the frame and prevented the truck from laying completely. He also deleted the ABS module because it was located on the fender liner which needed to be cut in order to allow the tires to raise high enough to lay frame in the front. Other than that the truck runs and drives well. I just did a tune up (plugs and wires) and an oil change with Mobil 1 High Mileage synthetic as well as replaced the starter. The clutch grips well and the transmission shifts as it should, although the Hurst shifter is very tight and has a short throw so it takes some getting used to. The truck is overall a great summer toy and will get lots of attention wherever it goes. It's a blast to drive and with a little love it could be in perfect condition or just drive it as is and have fun.

Weekly Recap: GM plans massive new paint shop at Chevy Corvette factory
Sat, May 23 2015General Motors is laying out some serious green to maintain the Chevy Corvette's expansive color palette. The automaker is breaking ground on a new paint shop this summer that's part of a $439-million investment to upgrade the 34-year-old Bowling Green, KY, factory that builds the Stingray. The massive new structure will total 450,000 square feet, nearly half the size of the current 1-million square-foot facility. Construction is expected to take two years and won't impact Corvette production. The upgrades include new robots that save paint and create a better finish, longer, more efficient ovens to bake in the finish, and LED lighting. There's also a dry scrubbing booth technology with a limestone handling system that eliminates waste. GM has invested $135 million in the factory in last four years for the changeover to build the C7 and to relocate its Performance Build Center to Bowling Green. The improvements continue to modernize the Kentucky factory, which has become a tourist attraction in its own right, as more than 56,000 enthusiasts visited it last year. The upgrades are part of a $5.4-billion investment GM confirmed in April that will remake its US footprint in the next three years. The Bowling Green expansion underscores GM's continued commitment to the Corvette, which sold nearly 38,000 copies around the world last year, an eight-year high. "With this major technology investment, we can continue to exceed the expectations of sports car buyers for years to come," North American manufacturing manager Arvin Jones said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Takata recall hits 34 million vehicles The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration expanded the Takata airbag recall to an almost unthinkable 34 million vehicles on Tuesday. The recall is part of an agreement reached by the two sides where Takata admitted some of its airbag inflators have a defect, and the deal compels the company to comply with all future regulatory actions and investigations. Takata's airbag inflators were produced with "a propellant that can degrade over time" and lead to ruptures, NHTSA said. Six deaths have been attributed to the flaw worldwide. Investigations conducted by Takata, automakers, and others have not determined the exact cause of the inflator problem, but NHTSA said moisture appears to alter the propellant's chemical structure. It then ignites too rapidly, creates too much pressure that ruptures the inflator, and blasts shards of metal at passengers.
Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years
Mon, Jan 5 2015Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
