625 hp Sleeper '85 Chevy S10 Pick Up Truck 

In the 90s those trucks were done in every way from drag racing to low riders to fast cruisers with crazy sound systems plus you can’t forget the Typhoon and the Cyclone but I haven’t seen an s10 done like that in a while but I see them drag built pretty often still. Awesome truck, brings me back to my blazer days. Once again an awesome video

I have a near mint/stock 1993 gmc sonoma s10 4.3L my grandpa left me when he passed (about 50k miles) and I have sworn I’ll keep it stock no matter what but man - this is the FIRST s10 I ever said - I may have to move on and clone this truck! Absolutely sick. Every single thing - but I’m in Florida - a/c is absolute must. Thx for the vid! Absolute beauty.

Oh man I miss the 80s/90s minitruck scene.

I LOVE this generation of S10! I had 2 of them over the years. The first I bought new in 93 the last year of this body style. Extended cab, 4.3 V6 5spd manual. Added true dual exhaust with Flowmasters, a Whipple supercharger, pulley kit and custom tune. Was getting 270hp on the dyno. At 270, it was scary fast, nearly uncontrolable if i stood on it. I couldnt imagine 600hp! Traded it in later for a 92 GMC Syclone, factory turbo all wheel drive with independent rear suspension. It had similar hp stock, advertised at 280, never tested it. Although the Syclone handled much better with the high hp, it was a huge mistake swapping the S10 for the Syclone. Lost the space behind the seats, and because of the rear coil spring suspension, I couldnt tow my boat or haul anything over 500lbs in the bed. There was a huge yellow warning sticker in the tailgate stating no more than 500lbs. But it sure looked bad-ass.

The irony is, even with no cats it probably runs cleaner than that 2.8 V6. Absolutely love the s series from this Era, I had a 1987 s10 blazer 2dr with a 2.8 and 5 speed. Was a great truck! I bought it for $150 and it was passed around my friends for years. These trucks were really cool! Small, but still a ladder frame and will fit a small block v8. Always thought these trucks drove very well! Always a special place in my heart for the s series trucks. Unfortunately, this size truck I think we will never see again with a full ladder frame...

I love those S10's. Reminds me of high school. A few of my friends had these trucks. The 4.3L ones were quick. The 2.5L and 2.8L ones were turds though. Most of them got V8 swaps. My one friend had a green one single cab short bed, 2.5L 4-cyl w/ auto. We put a cowl hood on it, wheels, tint, debadged it and smoothed it out. Put a shift kit in it so it would chirp 2nd gear. Looked great but was slow. Decent for pulling his lawn mower trailer around for his business. I've always wanted to LS swap one myself.

I love this body style on the S10

Given I'm from that era, I have to say this truck is awesome. Loved the seat and interior.

I watched this video 3 times. I still have my 93 Gen 1 S10. Nino has great taste. That truck is freaking awesome. I wouldn't call it dated, I would call it classic. The lines are simple and awesome. These are the nicest looking trucks of all the mini trucks. The cars of today are made out of foam and plastic. Beautiful truck!

Love those year S10’s . This one is sweet.

I had an ‘85 with a 350 ‘Vette engine which looked totally stock. It was an absolute giggle blowing away unsuspecting “fast cars”. Dual exhaust pipes where the only clue....traded it for a cool little 4Runner when I moved to snow country...still miss it!

I'm a Mopar guy but I'm also a truck guy. So this gets my approval for sure. I'm building my truck by myself right now and I can only hope that my 97 Dodge 1500 will half as cool as this LS-10

Ultra cool. And call it “sleeper” it’s hard... At least untill you hear the thing started up. What a sound! Even at the traffic light you can understand that it’s better don’t mess with it.

I love my 93 shortie. If only I had the money to put this kind of power into it and also get the interior done. This truck is so f'n clean.

This is a beautiful truck in every regard, inspiring video to watch when for the most part it's showing me exactly how I should expect my 94 Sonoma Ext Cab to run when it hits the road next spring. Parts wise my truck has everything there minus the trans and converter, it will have a 4L80E in it with controller. Engine is a 398 ci. stroker based on a Dart block that dynoed 641 hp@6400 and 560 ft lbs.@5700 with a progressive Nitrous Express 400 system feeding into the mess if needed. Come spring 2022 I expect to be enjoying driving my Sonoma as much as our host is enjoying driving his friends S-10.

One of my favorite truck body styles. Wish they still made small trucks. The Colorado is the same size as the old C10s now but without the V8.

Nothing "sleeper" about this truck. Lol

I love that its hooked up 90s style. I've always been a fan of the S10.

I've watched this video at least a dozen times and I still love to watch this beautiful 1st Gen S10 pick-up. The whole thing from interior to the paint and rims just screams beautiful and fast. Whoever built this truck did a hella good job doing it. I want to build a truck just like this one but I know it's going to take 30,000 dollars or more to do it right the first time especially with an interior like this one has. It is just enough mods to make it look fabulous but not over modded.

I had a 93 Typhoon and if i had that motor.....id wouldve won a lot more battles. That motor was sick. Congtats....

Little truck, BIG motor, gotta love it!

A timeless recipe: Take an old under-powered, rather uninspired everyman's vehicle and stick a whopping big engine in it! Brakes too, if there's any money left. Anyone selling a mid-80's S10? Because a whole bunch-a people just got inspired!

Blue is my favorite color. Glad it wasnt bright red. And the LS10 logo is classy and clever. Love the diamond stitch too.

Mini truckin is back....period but with horsepower! # historyrepeatsitself

I love it. I've got a 92 I'm gonna start rebuilding soon. I'm keeping the stock 4.3 but I'm gonna bore and stroke it then add either a turbo or centrifugal supercharger on it. I wanna make at least 400 at the wheels with a V6. It will be a long shot but I think it can be done. If I need to ill go to a newer LS style 4.3v6 and go that way. But I want to go carb if possible. Then I want to swap to a 5-6spd Tremec. I think it would be a great road racer build.

When people got this good of a combination into a vehicle ( truck.) They should put it into a plan ; a kit and share them with the masses. Beautiful & amazing S-10 you have sir. Thanks for the video.

When I put my '93 back together in a few years, I plan to do something similar to this one, albeit with a turbo junkyard LS, T56, and a 4 link with some suspension/chassis work. For those curious, my build should run $35-40k in parts. Seeing this one in action is pretty inspiring.

This video 100% inspiration. I also got a free 85 S10 a few years go. Single cab but mines a long bed 4x4. This video made me put some quality into my interior to really wake it back up and make it nice. Paint comes next year and now I kind of want to do a 2 tone. I plan to swap in a built 4.3 and 5 speed as I don't know engine swapping like the pros but a 4.3 with 200hp is plenty for me

Love Ninos build, the attention to detail is spot on. And with that drivetrain not only makes fun and a blast to drive. I'd be more than happy to daily it ;) . Sounds killer to. Let's see more S10s

I love it. Nino gave me a number of ideas for my 82' 406 S10

Lsx is a factory crate engine that doesn’t come in the 7.0L or 427ci. Beautiful truck.

Great interior , no words to discribe the engine

man I've been looking at these for years, but people seem to say otherwise at first but now they see the potential. In my opinion this is the only S10 that looked good to me out of all the years, the style is contemporary to me. My only gripe is that he should've keep the stock grille cause everything else is something I would do.

You can't beat light weight and power. Physics wins.

I love that truck! I have a 92 S-10 with a 383 in it with a Chris Alston's Chassisworks back half, 4 linked with 373 gears, and airbagged. I just need to finish the front suspension, and rims/tires

Huge fan of sleepers and cars and trucks you random don't see this truck is beyond cool why spend hundreds of thousands on cars when you could just go to the local used car lot they got some cars dirt cheap and you can make something you really love👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I love the dated look of this truck. It makes it unique. Beautiful machine..

Building an 84 right now, going with the 5.3 though. Cannot wait! Will be posting entire build soon!!

I was never interested in one of these trucks until I saw this one. My uncle recently gave one and I think it has promise.

I think that is a pretty cool build. It's all subtle small details to the time era of the truck. I have always been partial to the S series. Cool build. Nice video

I’m a fan of the older S10 trucks! Looks super nice! Love the seat❣️

Beautiful Truck, Love these Trucks & Blazers, I'm building a 1984 S10 Blazer, I built a 1995 S10 last year so I figured I'd build a Blazer 4X4 this year!

Thing is super tame and functional almost stock interior, he’s like this thing is a total drag truck...

You guys are in the valley? Freaking sweet! I see you crushing down San Fernando road 😝🤘

Awesome badass s10,100 thumbs up. I love square body s10s s10 blazers and even fond of square body rangers

Not a sleeper, I would know that’s not a normal car by looking at it. The rims, the paint-job, the interior. Come on, this is just too easy to spot. (Also the cal-tracs which are visible)

This is one badass S10 pickup man.

That truck that beautiful.. this is no sleeper.. awesome episode

Nino coming in clutch again. Nino's, Jay-Leno's adopted brother.

The only thing that would make that truck cooler is giving it to me! Lol definitely BADASS!

Thats so sick man!! DAMMM

I got a 92 ext cab 2wd with an iron headed 350. Rolled it across the scale the other day. 3580lbs with me in it and a full tank of gas. Probably 32something empty.

if I had money to rebuild my 89, I think I might wanna go with a motor like that this time. Not that the the 8 previous old school v-8's I 've had in it weren't badass, but I never ever played with any LS engine ever, and I would love to try one.

You deserve more subs but keep up the work love the video's too

More sub $100k builds, please. Kinda new to the channel and really enjoy it. A load of amazing halo builds on the channel but really like the obtainable/fiscally responsible builds.

That is not no sleeper, that is ON FIRE!

I have a 1988 GMC s15 high Sierra with a Ford built 302 very fun truck looks great as well love the video bad ass truck

thats awesome, i have an 85 s10 ext cab with the 2.8 as well, and i thought i was cool cuz i just swapped from a 4 speed to a borg t5 XD

I plan on doing this after I sell my K5 Blazer, but I'm going to use a lq4 or lq9 instead because they're cheaper but are iron block so I can boost it heavily later on.

Killer Build, amazing set up, and a great presentation

Love it I have 385 stroker Street &strip 84 SS 10

Nino strikes again ! Fkn bad ass. I get to the west coast I'd like to buy him a beer.

Nice work Shawn! Please bring us more little sleeper pick up trucks like that or another badass... you always make good choices

Absolute beast!! Love the name, But I would have done LSX....x is roman for 10.

That is a sweet truck. Would have kept the stock grille though. Just doesn't look right from the front, but the rest of it is amazing.

Nino for president! He has very fun toys!

Used to have a 91 s10 my mom rolled it on the freeway (not her fault, and she was fine) I still miss the truck.

A huge thumbs up very very cool. Very Bad Ass and done properly 🤩🤩🤩

The sound idling gives that truck away, balanced and blueprint horsepower

Bad ass little truck love it

That is one bad ass S10 ..

man i love that ride height i really want to replicate that height in my 00 sonoma

badass truck man, i got a 83 s10 sport 6in lift with 33s it don't look insanely cool but she sits pretty

I have owned 2 s10 trucks one a four cylinder the other 4.3 v 6. lol neither was very fast. The v six that thing drank the gas. Never did check but just guessing maybe ten or twelve miles to the gallon 😂. But yeah I would like to have one like that with the 427 it would be fun to drive. Thanks for sharing and keepem comin!

All motor truck, because the motor is half the size of the truck. Awesome.

MUY BUEN TRABAJO LES QUEDO HERMOSA ESA CAMIONETA S10. SE NOTA QUE LE INVIRTIERON MUCHO TIEMPO Y ESFURZO. . EXELENTE VIDEO YPRESENTACION, MIS FELISITACIONES AL SEÑOR DE AUTOPIA LA POR LA PRESENTACION SALUDOS¡¡

Nino is the MAN. Great show.

Awesome pick-up, really a big monster, congrats man, greetings from Brazil.

It’s an awesome truck...and ya not thinking an lsx under the hood...that is sleeper..lot a s10’s round that era look like that..cool find..

Just bought a 87 S10 5 speed. So fun to drive

,1991gmc s 10 syclone was a stock beast.....the fastest truck built that year

Really nice s10 truck, that's what I looking for,

look like nino is pushing some serious weights

nice video my brother it sound beauitful

I'm building the same truck this truck is bad-ass ! My truck is an 87S14 Frame Off restoration.

Yes sir,good stuff

What's the final cost on something done like this? I have an 84' that's been in the family for now 3 generations and I'd like to do upgrade of a murdered out version of the same style build

I dig rides that if I wad up around a light pole after a breakfast of a 30pk of Natty Ice, then I can find another on just about every block in any city? To quote the great Eazy E.... “....I looked at my car and said oh brother...I throw it in tha gutter and go buy another...!” 😎

So fk’n sweet... Never hit the like button so fast before...🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 I’ve had 3 S10’s in my life.....1983 short bed 500hp 350, 1985 long bed with a 400SB.......and (just sold a few months ago) an 1988 S10 blazer with a 350 SB...... At this moment I have an 09 Colorado sport 3LT ext cab with the 5.3L...

So anything without a wheelie bar and a parachute is a sleeper now?

Sweet content once again shaun thanks

Someone needs to tell this guy what a sleeper is

At 5:53, there was a mention of a spoiler on the truck. Was that referring to the stock front valance under the front bumper? I don’t see a spoiler on it at all.

I want that truck. That's cool as hell.

Very nice little truck look good

My first truck right there with my dream mods mine was an 83 the old man picked up from the show room floor

I had an 88 Chevy S10 looked like that all blue with lowered rear panel clear lights i had it clean I called it my SS S10

Here it is 2020 and Chevrolet still hasn't learned to not put the spark plug wires under the hot ass headers ! Can you say Hemispherical !

Love my S10s. 89 reg cab short bed. 99 extended cab. 😍

I don't know about where you're from but around here, 1st gen S10's are commonly built with high dollar parts.
