bought a rusty crew cab shortbed s10 a while ago and this was on it. I can't find anything about it online, I'm just wondering if its a rare part or if I should just dump it to the first person who wants it. thanks!

IDK, the spoiler on a crewcab makes it worth a lot more. It'll really improve the handling in the corner at the end of the back straight at Laguna Seca. As you can see in the pic all IMSA cars running there use them. If you look closely those sports cars are crewcabs.

Possibly they're krew kabs, but in any event it's a kool look (for many) that gives it mo value..

All kidding aside ARE is a quality brand and it looks to be in nice shape. I have one on my 02 CC w/o the wing. Wish it was that shiny. Is the rest of the truck as nice? Pics?

I've never taken any pics of it, but unfortunately in the salt band, the body won't pass a massachusetts inspection. I just use it to run trash once or twice a month. around 150k miles on it, top trim. At one point this truck was definitely loved. I need to source a new bed for it but I can't find one local. I picked it up for $600, changed the MAF sensor, and it runs great. Really a shame. I figure after I find a new bed I'll foam the holes in the rest of the body and hit it with some bondo to get it to pass a mass inspection

Never understood why some of those northeastern states like MA and PA get so excited about a bit of rust on the outer skin. The state is the one who puts the salt on the roads and then make a fuss when it eats the skin of your vehicle. I could see failing a truck for brake line, body mount or frame rust, but holes in the skin never hurt anybody. There are literally millions of cars on the road with rotten rockers, cab corners, and rear wheel areas. They don't explode or fall apart on the freeway. It's easy for some millionaire state politician to pass laws against ugly. He/she never owned anything old.
Like you said some expanding foam and fiberglass hides it and passes. Yet that doesn't effect making the body any stronger.
After doing the repairs "Rust Wrap" it. Like the all fiberglass bodied Corvette below. Wonder what the inspectors would have to say about this one. We all know fiberglass bodies don't rust. Would it pass?

crew cab shortbed s10

that will limit 95% of the poeple who will want it, since there is not many CC trucks out there.
id sell it for at least $500, but, again, good luck.
