HAWAIIAN RASPBERRY

This wild S-10 belongs to Steve Reed from Honolulu Hawaii. The most striking this about this truck is the bright raspberry paint, but this truck is a lot more than a coat of flashy paint. The truck began its life as a stock '94 Chevrolet S-10 extra-cab with a 4.3L Vortec V-6 engine. But it didn't stay that way for long.

First the truck got a major altitude-adjustment. The truck sits down low with a front airbag setup from Firestone. The airbags replace the front coil springs to give height-adjustibility, while Bell Tech lowered spindles provide 2-inches of additional drop. The rear of the truck is dropped with drarched leaf springs and 3-inch lowering blocks. The rear also has a pair of Rancho air shocks for adjustibility.

The front bumper is from A&A Specialties, with frenched-in Catz SP 85 watt driving lights. The bed got a coating of Line-X spray-in bedliner and is topped with a hinged soft tonneau cover. Rolling attire const of 16x7.5 Antera Opus One wheels wearing BFGoodrich Euro T/A tires of 215/40r16 size. Other modifications include a custom air intake with a K&N cone air filter and a Flowmaster Stage II cat-back dual exhaust.

The interior was customized by color-matching various trim pieces. The stereo consists of a Kenwood CD head unit, a 10-disc CD changer mounted in the center console, two PS-200 amps, 6.5-inch separates, and two 10-inch subwoofers.

And Steve isn't done yet, he's planning to hack up the rear of the truck to use a 4-link rear suspension with airbags and a custom bridge. Giant 18-inch wheels will find their way into the fenderwells and Steve's also going to fully-customize the interior. It looks like Steve has his work cut out for him, and by the look of his truck, he's got one killer ride already.
