As a couple of people on here know, i picked up a 1997 Victory Red S10 ZQ8 not too long ago.
The ZQ8 suspension is a factory option used on the S10 SS, all the Xtremes, and the Trailblazer SS. It lowers the stance a full 2", adds thicker swaybars, adds a quicker ratio steering box used in the z28/trans am, and adds a 3rd bilstein axle-hop shock which is attached to the axle and the frame.
I picked this up for almost dirt from my buddy who owns Mantua Auto Body. Its a V6 with a 5 Speed(rarest factory s10 motor combo) but the engine has a rod knock in cylinder. It runs, but other than the knock, its a solid truck. shifts great, handles great, and for the year and mileage its in pretty good shape. All it needs is a new motor which i now have, i just need to pull it, and it'll be an awesome truck.
Here are some pics i took of it at my buddy's body shop. It's gonna sit here until we finish renovating our garage, then this is gonna be a winter project.
I dont have any pics of the parts truck yet, but its a white 2002 S10 Xtreme Extended cab. V6/Auto with 51,xxx miles on it. Got T-Boned right where the 3rd door met the bed. Decent Frame Damage, Totaled, $800. Im slowly selling off all the parts i know i dont need off it. and so far ive almost broke even with this project just in selling parts.
I hope to have this truck done by the time the weather gets good enough to restart the meets. And ill be sure to take plenty of pictures as me and my stepdad rebuild this semi-rare factory truck.
PS These trucks supposedly pull a .84g on the skidpad
