89' s-10 5.3

Well , i started a thread a while back about this and i have been trying to build ANOTHER Street / strip truck . I have been looking for another Chevy Luv , but they are finally becoming hard to find and the ones that are left are pretty rough and rusty . I have always been a fan of the 1st gen S-10's and really like the second gens . I vowed to come into the new era of LS . Also just couldnt see doing a second gen without and LS swap vs 23 degree convensional sbc . I have been looking for a while for the right truck and came across this one . It is an 89' 2.5 5 speed truck regular cab short bed . The previous owner who was a electronics type guy swapped in a 2002 5.3 and 4L60E out of a suburban . This is a smog legal fuel injection swap . I drove almost 250 miles to buy the truck and drove it home getting 26 mpg . Truck needs exhaust and some mechanical touchup , but it will clean up real nice . I bought a 10 bolt 8.5 earlier this year and had a 3.73 and fresh posi unit installed along with 1/2 x 20 studs and new brakes . So it should be a tough little truck when im done . I intend to footbrake this truck in super pro to geive me the opertunity to run 2 classes at divisionals next year at Div 4 bracket finals . Anyway sorry for the noval . Here are the pics .
