Went to estate sale last week & thought this is a clean little s-10. The hood was then opened and had to get her. No one else at sale seemed to even notice the mods. so think i got lucky paying $1700 for her. Just got it legal today but has sat for awhile and needs at least some brake work but damn this thing pulls hard, runs like a scalded cat. Will probably get roadworthy, enjoy for awhile then sell.

Someone call the cops. You stole that truck for what it has on it.
 
Vortech s-trim unit with methanol injection kit also. Someone put a lot of time into her and thought out the mods. Is also a 5 spd. Have done one power run & it was spinning thru 3 gears before i backed off due to hearing some detonation so tuning is in order. Has a crane timing retard adjustment deal in cab i need to figure out.
 
3K worth of stuff under the hood. Get that thing to hook and it will go fast. 5spd to boot...wow. 4.3 V6?
 
How do you sleep stealing that truck? Good for you!
 
Yes TexasDart it is a supercharged 4.3. Truck has 88,000 miles on it & only info. I've got was modified in 2002 by custom shop in Norfolk for gentleman that passed away in August. Supposedly got driven for awhile then he got ill & truck sat in garage for quite sometime. Had a 2008 inspection sticker on it which probably scared bidders away.
 
Absolutely ragtop. Has some type of issue with the ABS system I've got to to troubleshoot ASAP. Not sure of rear gearing but thinking 3 to maybe 3.23 the way it scorches tires but it does have a posi. Previous owner must not have got on her much because tread was still good & this thing goes from smoking them, to igniting them to incinerating the hides from 1st to third. After further review before it got dark do see some dry rot on all 4 hides so tires are also in order.
 
Chevy... Shame on you

I know, but always looking for possible cash cows & I really love anything different that is potentially fast and does not fit the norm. Hopefully this one will work out so I can make a little profit and help out someone who is into it.
