    I love that vintage Chevy. The S10 isn't bad either.

    Nice old simplicity! My neighbor had one similar to that, I think it was a large frame simplicity. All I know is that it was built like a tank. I also know he's got a brand new husqvarna tractor.

    I'll have to ask him what happened to the old one.

    S10 fan boy here I love the little trucks. My k15 won't go anywhere but firewood and home depot now and some winter 4*4 driving.

    I get to bang some dents out of the truck bed, install and paint the front bumper and fix the cab door dents too before winter and paint it I hope.

    I found a body shop that will pull the dents for $276 and make the body nice again so I am going to have them do it and then ill get it painted or ill paint it with tractor paint. Whenever I do anything with tractor enamel the paint holds up bullet proof!

    Get to start the exhaust work today.

    The truck had a bed cover with it too but the rails where bent and the clamps where missing so after a lot of searching I found some c clamps that fit with a little grinding and got it installed too. Its coming together nicely id say!

    I don't mind it anymore it's easy for me too do on the 2.2L. The 4.3 well that's a whole bother story lol. I sprayed 3 coats of 2000f black ceramic paint over the whole Thing too. Once I weld it up I'll cover the welds good too...

    Sweet S10. I've owned three trucks. All big and all to hard to climb into. All have a hard time going past a gas station. The S10 is a good alternative to that.
