1987 Chevrolet Colorado Mini S-10 LS. 1987 Chevrolet Colorado Mini S-10 LS-Artistic expression comes in many forms in this hobby we enjoy. Some like to be traditional with their expression others like to be contemporary - still others like to use both and create a whole new look.Larry Seabert owner of Tech-Ni-Kolor Autocrafters Inc. of Dwight IL. designed and built this marvelous Mini S-10 with a lot of thought and execution. Larry originally made an Engine and Transmission swap using a 350 TPI and 700r4 combination. Along with a few other modifications the truck looked like everyone elses mini pickup. With dare to be different thinking and a real desire to someday have a sedan delivery Larry began the design process of what was to become a fresh and progressive mini sedan delivery.. The first event to take place was the removal of the body from the frame. Next up the frame was modified and outfitted with a F9 rear complete with disc brakes and it in turn was bolted to a triangulated 4 link rear set-up with Air Ride Tech. air bags. The front suspension was assembled with 2 drop spindles and Air Ride Tech. Shockwave air bags. American Torq thrust 18 wheels and Michelin High Performance rubber was installed. The tired four banger was replaced with a 1992 Cam 350 TPI rebuilt by Jake Burkhart and was dressed up with custom one-off engraved valve covers that we ( J and B Microfinish) made for Larry complete with Tech-Ni-Kolor carved into the valve cover tops. Other engine mods include a Billet Specialties Tru Trac pulley and bracket kit a wiring and computer set-up by Street and Performance and full length Flowmaster exhaust. The 700r4 trans received a B and M shift kit to ensure accurate and firm gear changes.. Starting with a 1987 S-10 Pickup Larry began the body work process by grafting two S-10- Blazer roofs and a tailgate section. The pickup box was bolted and welded to the cab. The side panels were made and then welded into the window openings. Custom inset molding was then fabricated by Larry and machined smooth by us ( J and B Microfinish). This inset molding was later cut to fit and flush mounted which gave this area of the truck a uniform look. 99 Cadi tail lights were fitted to the rear section of the truck. As seen in the picture this modification in my opinion is way cool. Moving to the front an entire 2006 Chevy Colorado front clip was sectioned to the S-10 fenders a handmade cowl panel was then fabricated. Hagan Hinges were then bolted to all doors. Another trick feature was the installation of a Rock Valley gas tank with the filler hidden inside the truck. Lastly Street Scene bumpers were modified to fit and installed.. Once all the necessary body work was completed it was off to the spray booth where Larry applied the special mix Viper-Blue. All the graphics were performed by Steve Connor our favorite being the rear tailgate V and side trim.. The interior is a standout in this custom truck. One highly notable feature was the sectioned and lengthened 55 Chevdash with custom handmade extensions on the doors. This along with the handmade console add a traditional flavor to the inside of this radical ride.. Classic Instruments provided Larry with their awesome Bel Era gauge package and two Air Ride air pressure gauges located in the console trim. Twin Cities Upholstery completed the interior layout and design. Graytones in Ultra Leather and cloth with black panels were selected and stitched to the interior of this sedan delivery.. JandB Microfinish handmade the Billet Dash and Console trim and then polished it to a mirror finish.. Although Larry performed much of the build he did have some help. Dave Hansen and Kerry Trednick get credit for helping with the bodywork and paint while Dave Hansen also gets the nod on the installation of the Painless and Street and Performance wiring and stereo installation. Rounding out the list Phil Becker gets credit for fabricating the cowl panel and dash top.. Larry decided he would
