THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN SOLD!!!!***
This 1991 S-10 Blazer was ready for the junkyard, but no Auto-Body Shop owner likes to see that happen. So my uncle called me up and had it sold to me by the owner, who was also happy that he was making a few extra bucks than if he junked it. Anyway, aside from that, the truck started after a new battery was installed, but it was in TERRIBLE shape. You literally had to hold the gas pedal about halfway down when you started it or it would just immediately shut off. Nothing that a few new parts and a complete tuneup wouldn't fix, as well as a fresh tank of gas. (the car sat around for a few years, you know what that's like) So Far, the truck has been put in running order, and has a few little extras on it. A new Cowl-Induction hood was just installed, as well as a brand new front bumper (it didn't have one, lol) It's gunna look great when it gets painted, as of right now the truck has ugly pink/blue pinstriping on it as well as a two tone black paintjob due to it sitting around. Lots of chips in the paint are apparent, but that's what you expect from a Junkyard Car.
This is what it looks like from the side...
Ugly Huh? ^_^ Like I said, it's going to take a lot of work. Anyway, a new Custom Airbrushed TailGate Was Installed In The Back
This at least dressed up the back of the truck. A new audio system is in the process of being purchased so that after the truck is all painted it will be able to thump music out nicely as well. I'll put up more pictures of the truck as time progresses. I'll eventually be putting 20"-22" rims, altezza tail lights, underbody LED's, custom paint work all the way around, a new grille, body kit, roll pan, air-ride suspension, custom painted interior, HID Headlight Conversion Kit, and some other little bits and pieces onto the car. It should look really nice by then.
***Update (4/1/06)***
Well, I purchased my sound system (for now) just two 500 watt 12" subs, nothing too special, this is only temporary, because I'm planning on getting a mold done for the cargo area so I can shove about six 12" subs into it. Here's a few pics of what I got...
In These Pictures I'm Running The Subs Through A Break-In Process That One Of My Friends Taught Me, Using My Home Stereo Receiver. (He goes To Sound Competitions With His Car And Wins
Truck-Loads Of Trophies With His System, So I'll Trust Him On This) Apparently, The Subs Will Be Able To Thump A Lot Harder If I Break Them In This Way, Rather Than Just Blowing Or Coming Loose And Rattling... Or Something Like That I Don't Know, I'm New To This... Oh, And You Can Also See My Custom iPod In The Pic As Well...
Not Much Has Been Done To The Car, Due To My Lacking Of Funds, And A Job...The Car Runs Fine Now... We Put An Entirely New Brake System On It, Lines And All...
And I Painted The Bow-tie black, for now, until I find an SS One Like The One On My Father's Tahoe...
I'm Thinking About Getting A Magnaflow Exhaust Installed On It, Since The Entire Exhaust Pipe Is Split Down The Middle.
I'll Update Soon, I'll Be Doing A Lot Of Work On The Truck This Month, Since It's Getting Warmer Out Now...
***Update (4/9/06)***
Now the front is jacked up for some new calipers... and I purchased an Aiwa CDC-X204 so that I can have RCA outputs for my subs, and so that I can hook my iPod straight up to the radio, so that there is no distortion that could hurt my speaker system... Working on getting some 17's for a better look (my rims are disgusting, blech) The Next Update Will Be On The Next Page...
