Do you want to be a hero when you pull in to your local Home Depot, or hardware store? If you answered yes, you need this truck. I bought this truck 4 years ago. 3 years ago I pulled it into the shop and did a Chevy S-10 frame swap, and put a V8 into it. When doing this build I replaced the whole brake system, pads rotors, shoes, drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, brake lines, and master cylinder. ALL of it. Then I put a junkyard engine in it, and a good used transmission I got from a friend. This powertrain got me 8000 miles and 2 years. Then this spring I went back through the truck and rebuilt it right..... The spring I had a 383 stroker professionally built by a local engine builder, Mora Motorworks. This 383 stroker is old skool and uses the connecting rods and crankshaft from a small block 400. The rest of the internals are 350. I picked out a vintage Weiland single plane intake manifold, and put an Edelbrock carburetor on it. There is 3000 miles on the new engine, and the oil has been changed 3 times. I use Rotella oil. The engine has all new accessories. New alternator, water pump, fuel pump, starter, HEI distributor, spark plugs, and wires. All of it is new. The transmission is a TH350. It is a good used trans that I picked up from a good friend of mine. I put a shift kit in it, and there is a transmission cooler mounted to the radiator. The filter and fluid are new. The driveshaft is a new one, built for the application. The rear end is original to the late 90's S-10 frame. It has 3:73 gears, and it is in good shape. Wheels are smoothies painted with House of Kolors paint. The tires were new from the original build 3 years ago. So they have about 10,000 miles on them. Front tires are fair. They have some wear from bad tie rods. The rear tires are good and have plenty of tread. Speak of bad tie rods. The tie rods that caused the front tire wear have been replaced now. The idler arm was replaced. And the truck was computer aligned. The body was left as original as possible. There is rust, but the body is pretty solid overall. There is awesome patina all over this thing. The hood was all scratched up by a tree for years, the paint is faded and worn, and even missing in some spots. There are not a whole lot of dents and dings, the body is pretty straight. The worst rust is the passenger side floor of the cab. There are some holes, but not Flinstones size holes. I welded in some sheetmetal to cover them up. The widnshield and door windows are cracked. The door window regulators work, they roll up and down just fine, but they are cracked. The curved rear window is in great shape. All the bugs have been worked out of this thing. It needs nothing. You can hop in a drive this thing across the country. Before the new engine I drove this thing from Minneapolis to St Louis and back, and I have made several trips to Duluth. It is powerful, and super fun to drive. If you have any more questions, please give me a call. I built this thing from the ground up, so I can tell you about every nut, bolt, part, and weld. 763 234 0441 Truck has clear Minnesota title.On Aug-10-15 at 05:27:45 PDT, seller added the following information: $9800 RESERVE!
