1989 Chevrolet S10 Air Ride V8 350 700r4 Brake & Chassis Upgrades Protouring on 2040-cars

 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.
