Here sits Juston Gadberry's teal 95 GMC 350 ext cab. He bought the truck in Utah, which is quite a drive from his home state of California. I would say that its worth it. The drop is a Belltech 4/6 with rear air bags. Weld VR-11 wheels sit inside 255/55/16 General tires. To even out the exterior a smooth front bumper and rollpan are in place, along with a soft Tonneau cover. When you peek into the engine bay, you will notice a few things. The first is a Vortech Supercharger that adds 6 psi of boost to the 350. Another noticable thing is the K&N Cone Air Filter. Tucked deeper inside are a Jacaobs ignition, a Gibosn exhaust and a custom Z Tech computer chip Then to round that out, he has a 160 Thermostat and Shorty headers. Justin has some plans for this truck, and I can't wait to see what becomes of that.
This is Shateals red 1988 S-10. Let's get right to the modifications, shall we? All the way up front is a 1993 S-10 front end, which includes the bumper, grille and custom brackets. Stull Billet Grille Inserts help add flavor to the front end. Then, as if that wasn't enough, Pilot fog lights were added. The drop is achieved by 3 inch Spindles, 3 inch Drop Leafs (leaves?) and 3 inch Blocks. Also on the body are Clear turn signals, Cal Vu Sport Mirrors, a Fast Back Tonneau, Blue dots in the taillights (?) a billet Chevy emblem and an East Coast Customs Roll Pan out back. 15 inch Chevy Rally Wheels with caps add some shine to the middles of the tires. Inside, the mods are too numerous to say. Highlights from the interior include a Grant steering wheel, a custom plexiglass stereo install, custom kick panel speaker enclosures, and a dash cap. That is quite a truck. Go here to see all the pics.
Here is Bryan Allen's 1999 Chevy S-10 Xtreme. We all know that these trucks have a good start when it comes to modifications. Bryan, like the rest of the sport truck community, had to add more. The Xtremes already come with an altitude adjustment of a couple inches. This looks pretty good, and did not need to be changed. Also, the rims and tires on these trucks are pretty good looking. To make sure people see the rims, Bryan got them chromed. Other chromed/chrome items include the bowtie emblem, aand the third brakelight cover. This truck already has a nice engine, a 4.3L v6, but it needed a little help. Bryan added an AIRAID induction system, a Hypertech Power Plus Reprogrammer and a Flowmaster Dual exhaust set-up. Obviously, these add-ons have helped, as the truck runs a 12.8 in the quarter mile. To keep this truck in his hands, Bryan has also added a Viper alarm with voice module, a remote start, remote power windows, and keyless entry. Hey, Bryan, wanna race?
This 79 Chevy C-10 is owned by John Miniel as well as the Amor Latino Custom Lowrider Car, Truck and Bike Club, out of Rock Falls, Illinois. This blue beauty is the product of 3 years of work. The paint is Custom Royal Blue with 60% Silver metallic, and it goes well with the 14x7 56 Spoke Chrome Roadster rims. When you see a truck with more than 10 spokes, you usually assume that it is packin hydros. This C-10 keeps that assumption correct, with Porky's Hydraulic lifts in the front and back, running an Old School 2 pump 4 dump set-up with chromed motors. I have no idea what that means, as I am a airbag guy. Anyway, 8inch front cylinders and 10inch rear cylinders give the truck attitude, and all this is juiced by 6 deep-cycle Die Hard batteries and the 36 volts the pumps put out. When he is rollin hard, John blasts his tunes through a Clarion Cassette deck and a 6 CD changer. The actual sounds come from the Clarion 6x9s in the doors and the Sentrex dual 10inch sub setup, which is powered by Acoustic Amp. So he's got his altitude, and tunes, he had better have an engine and an interior, right? Yup. A rebuilt chromed 350 lurks underneath the hood, housing an Edelbrock 4 Barrel Carb, and the interior is diamond tucked Royal Blue and Black. Lastly, a Grant steering wheel adorns the inside. I am usually not a fan of spoked rims and hydros, but this truck has made me re-evalutate that. John, those 3 years of work were worth it! Check out his truck here.
This is Leslie Jenkin's Sonoma. I was not given much info on this truck, but I will do with it what I can. I am told that this truck has a 4.3 Vortec engine, a K&N filter, and dual Flowmasters. Thats it. But there is more going on here. I notice the running boards and bed rails first. Although the picture is not high quality, you can also detect some foglights and a GTS budshield. The rims are hidden but look to be 5 spoke chrome or polished 16inch rims. If Leslie is out there, tell me more!
Here is Marty's 1996 Chevy S-10 SS. Again, these trucks start out on the right foot, with a new tighter suspension package, a color matched grille, smooth body lines, and upgraded wheels. Right now it has a color matched hard tonneau cover, but Marty says that he has a few modifications in the works. The first of course, is an altitude adjustment using spindles and blocks. Then, he wants to get an AIRAID intake to help the engine breathe. And maybe, just maybe he will invest in some bigger tires (he's thinking 245/50). His truck has a great start, and it can only get better from there.
