1995 S10 Custom
Lorelei

Up for auction is Lorelei a one off custom from Fod's Garage. This beautiful S10 was completed, and made it's debut in Virginia, June of 2013. Where it won best engineered, best interior, and was shot for two magazines. The idea behind the build was to infuse the mini truck and hot rod styles. The truck was purchased used in 96 by a friend who has done paint work for the shop in the past. He began modifications and showed the truck in various forms over the years. I then purchased the truck and took it to it's current state. With only 49xxx miles she has lived a charmed life.
The description is lengthy but I want the buyer as informed as possible and see the effort and quality parts put into this build. Take time to look over the pictures here and more on the Fod's Garage website. We provide turn key customs as well and commissioned builds. If you have any questions please contact me before placing a bid (fod@fodsgarage.com or 812-216-0635). Vehicle is for sale locally and auction may end at any time prior to reserve being met.

Exterior
Starting with one of the most dramatic modifications being the tailgate area. The tailgate has been leaned forward to emulate a 55 Chevy Nomad. Pods were then constructed out of sheet metal to house 55 taillights and form the "fin". No fiberglass or universal fit parts, all hand crafted specifically for this build. Doors have been suicided and open to nearly 90 degrees. The door handles were shaved and drivers side is operated by remote. Filler panels cover the stock mirror locations and now have 55 mirrors in their place. A steel cowl induction hood adds to the hot rod style. Under side of hood is finished in satin black for a factory appearance. Headlights, grille, and front bumper are from a 98 Envoy. The grille is all chrome with a 55 hood emblem replacing the bowtie. Fresh DuPont paint wraps the truck in a custom white pearl and Mini Cooper blue with a black spray in liner. Original 56 Bel Air trim was cut down and reshape to fit the contours of the body then re-polished. You might see other trucks out there with painted on trim but not the real thing! Fitting original trim is simply too difficult making this truck stand out from the rest. The truck also has a traditional body drop, or channeled depending on who you talk to. The floor of the bed was raised an addition two inches to retain a flat floor with no bridge required.
Suspension
Font suspension has lowered spindles and Firestone air bags. The rear is a 4 link setup also using Firestones. Air tank and two compressors are located under the bed. Solenoids with 3/8 lines provide front and rear control. Rolling attire is made up of 17" torque thrust wheels on all four corners and fresh Zexius tires. 225/45 on the front and 245/45 on the rear. 
Drivetrain
Power comes from a throttle body 4.3 v6 with JBA headers. The truck originally had a 5 speed manual that has been replaced with a 700r4. 
Interior
The inside is packed with custom treatments throughout. The dash is from a 55 Chevy and has been cut down to fit. The cd player and air ride controls are hidden behind a panel in the dash so they don't distract from the clean lines. The instrument cluster and speaker pods have been relocated and glove box has also been removed. Gauges are custom pearl white Belera II from Classic Instruments. A pearl white faced air pressure gauge is installed in the stock clock location. A 65 mustang heat and a/c unit is housed in a recess in the dash for a factory look. Unit has not been hooked up. Having heat and air in a body dropped mini truck is a BIG deal, as this is usually one of the first things to go to accommodate the front tires. Steering input is done through a custom steering wheel made by Con2r mounted to a tilt column. Prior to interior installation the cab was treated with sound and heat deadening material. Carpet is a short loop in blue from ACC  matching carpet from the 50's and 60's. Sill plates are a brushed stainless for a factory feel. Low back bucket seats have you riding in comfort. Staying true to the mini truck scene audio equipment was not forgotten. Behind the seats you will find 3 Rockford Fosgate p3d10 subs powered by a p1000 amp. Also in the amp rack are two p200's. One for the highs mounted in the pillars and the other for mids in the doors. Still leaving room for a driver over 6 foot tall. Door panels were made using arm rests, trim, and window cranks from a 55. Interior treatment is finished off with a suspended headliner, 55 visors, and rear view mirror.

 All shipping costs are the responsibility of winning bidder. Deposit and payment arrangements are required within 48 hours of auction completion. Vehicle will not be released until payment is made in cash or clears my bank. Truck has a clear Indiana title.
 
Legal type stuff
As is with all custom vehicles there may be items that do not conform to your local laws. Custom/hot rod vehicles are not factory production units and therefore many not perform as such. These could, but do not necessarily include: interior or air ride leaks, altered ride and handling characteristics, decreased visibility, modified or removed safety items, deeming them off road use only. Therefore all altered vehicles are sold for off road show purposes only. Fod's Garage is not responsible for any damage or injuries caused while operating this vehicle. This truck is in good working order but is sold as is with no warranty or guarantees.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

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.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
