Bought a truck
well heres my new project. Its a 1988 s10 tahoe 4x4 baja, yes its a real baja.
I got it cheap and ive always wanted a mini truck 4x4, but i wanted a ext cab not a single
plans are to swap in a vortec 5.0L with lt1 cam and tbi intake. gonna be fun im trying to keep the gas mileage and enough power to pull something better than the crummy 4.3L
2" body lift maybe a 2" suspension and 31-33" a/t tires around on some aluminum rims.
Im looking for parts right now. I need 2 4.3L steel 4x4 s10 oil pans, also need the v8 engine mount plates, and just in case I want a v6 tbi intake.
heres the pics

Re: Bought a truck
I got a 1988 ext cab S10 recently.
Seriously though if you need some tips, I've owned four of them. With a TB crank, AAL, & some Interco tires, my 93 Jimmy was keeping up with Heeps.
Here's some local stuff:
complete frame, might have mounts? - http://joplin.craigslist.org/pts/1977798469.html
Parting out one - http://joplin.craigslist.org/pts/1976564914.html
$50 topper - http://joplin.craigslist.org/pts/1969530856.html
V8 oil pan, stock oil pan, throttle body - http://joplin.craigslist.org/pts/1961855446.html
I'll keep an eye out. These things are a "dime" a dozen, LMAO! Sorry for the pun. A couple of months ago, there was a complete V8 conversion with headers, mounts, radiator & all for $150. They also had a fiberglass cowl hood for $100! If only I would have known that I'd end up back in one.

Re: Bought a truck
Cool lookin little truck...
Never seen one (BAJA) before.
Not many of that generation S10 left anymore. Especially here in MI. Can't remember the last time I saw one.

Must be in the wrong part of the country. I see at least 5 pass me on the way home from work every day..... maybe not Baja's, but first gen S10s.

Re: Bought a truck
They all rotted out here in MI. Lol. Drive around here, there are hardly any older cars for daily drivers. The only old cars you see are at car shows. The road salt here just killed them all. And the few you do see around, you wonder how they're still putting along.

Re: Bought a truck
The aluminum wheels are an option, so is the spare tire and tail gate net.
Well im gonna put together a v6 if I can find the stuff. TBI v6s are a little hard to find.
and im gonna start to build a v8 to put in it one of these years. 5.0 or 5.7 also know where a 5.3L LS motor is thats really tempting.

Re: Bought a truck
Nice truck. The Bajas are pretty rare too...think of it like that body style's ZR2, only crappier
You'd be surprised about how much power you'd get out of the 4.3. On stock parts they're good for 300 or so horsepower. Sure, you'd get more power out of the v8, but the 4.3's already there.

Re: Bought a truck
Is it a 2.8 truck or 4.3?
If it's a 2.8, grab a 3.4 out of a 93-95 Camaro, a 2.8 TBI intake, & a 4.3 TBI unit. All of these parts are on CL right now.
If it's a 4.3, there's a few complete motors on CL as well for cheap. Hell there's a complete 96 Blazer for $250 in Tulsa if I remember correctly. Just been rolled & had the trans pulled. Skip the TBI & go for either CPI or 96+ vortec with the computer. I can vouch for the CPI motor's power. I managed to get about 250hp out of one with a little PnP & some cheap mods.
V8s are overrated in S10's. Be different.

That sounded like a V-8! Was that the 3.4 in the vid?

Re: Bought a truck
HEY BLACKCHEVELLESS
http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/pts/1982715293.html
have a complete set of fender flares from a 96 Chevy S10 ZR2. The two rear pieces, and the four front pieces. No cracks.
I also have the front fenders from that truck. They are emerald green metallic, code 177b. The drivers fender has a small dent. Good besides that.
I would like to get $400 for the set of flares and $150 for the fenders, or $500 for everything.
If you need more pictures or have any questions, let me know.
All trades are welcome, especially small block chevy parts!

Actually it was a 3500 (3.5l), but it's basically the same motor, 60 degree V6. Sounds badass!

Wrong generation. They have different wheel wells. Think of buying 73 trim for a 70. Probably wouldn't look right.

Re: Bought a truck
Just found this:
http://joplin.craigslist.org/pts/1982607532.html
$400 for a complete running Blazer with those aluminum wheels & a 4.3. Might be worth looking into.

Thanks for the upside down pics, man. I needed another reason for my wife to look at me like I lost my mind.

Re: Bought a truck
Had a bunch of people asking for pics of the "BAJA" aluminum skid plate and I figured upside down would be the best way so you could see it clearly, but yea it makes me want to flip it over also.

Re: Bought a truck
I'd probably trade you mine for that 71 four door back if it's drivable. I never keep a vehicle more than 3-4 months on average anyways.
