I know exactly what you mean. I've had a few. My barber actually fell in live with this truck and bought it from me. It's back on the road. Thanks for watching!
Anytime man we just got it started last week and the grin he got on his face from hrs of hard work was worth it to me as a father we still got a lot to do but the hard parts down
@@brandoncurrent3741 my daughter worked with me on our 64 Cyclone. It is great to see the look when you get something running or moving. Something they will always remember
Well hello from Buenos Aires, Argentina! I watched your video about the '53 GMC, and then I saw in the recommended videos this one, which brought A LOT of memories about my time living in the U.S. in the early 90s! One of my uncles there gave a white 1986 Chevrolet S10 pick up to my Dad, so he could move around. As a Chevy fan I fell in love with that thing, even though it was an automatic. Anything about saving S10s I like, so, new subscriber here! I'm gonna watch Part 2 later, and I'm looking forward to more content about it! Cheers!
Hello, and thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed the videos. I will have more on the 53 GMC for sure. The S10 we will see. I think I may end up with it. I will have some videos of an unbelievable junkyard so stay tuned.
I just saved one of my sons 93 ranger in good shape. Rebuilt auto trans. He was going to give up bad tranny. Now a cool little run about truck. Yes I would save the s10. I love that stuff.
Yes indeed Save this truck. I had an 86 model, 5 speed , long box. Awesome truck. Like others, she not have let it go. went to college and things got tight.
Well it's still sitting up behind my shop, did get the 4x4 locked in. Going to weld some plates on the frame and send it back to the neighbor. He's beginning to think it's not a good fit for him so I may end up with it.
Absolutely save it I didn't mind I got one just like yours and 87 model man's got good frame good body these are tough trucks they're definitely worth fixing up
The guy that I fix it for told me he doesn't want it now so I mat end up with it. I took it for a drive when I first got it running has MAJOR death wobble at 45 mph. She is going to need a ton of work.
I bought an 83 that was in half way decent condition last summer from Farm Field in Alabama. It ran when I got it, but unfortunately a cracked piston rod cooked the block. Finding a 2.8 was problematic, so Im prepping it for LS swap. The motor mounts are my 1st hurdle aint much clearance to get them without dropping suspension. Anyone have any tips on S10 motor mounts 4WD?
@@flatbrokegarage I just got them off without dropping the springs. I cant believe it. A little a tenacity and a prybar! I still cant believe engineers and how they design things. Im going to weld the new ones on the rig
Got a 90 S10 for my son we're restoring it now there's just something special about these little truck that have always had a soft spot for

@@flatbrokegarage I will, thanks!
Probably would make a good little farm Truck. Far as a classic rebuild. With the frame so bad. Just use it until it’s used up. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! My thoughts exactly, just a shame the frame is so far gone.

For sure save! Cheap on gas 4x4
A buddy of mine has it now and it's being restored

They are for sure. My buddy bought it and the truck is in the process of restoration
Good 4x4 for snowplowing in winter
Hopefully no more winter here
That 4tech is hard to kill 😮
Bullet proof for sure
I have the same truck but a 92 4x4 with the 4.3 still my daily driver get 20mpg with 30” tires and a 3” body lift- mine also had been sitting since 99
The guy that I fix it for told me he doesn't want it now so I mat end up with it. I took it for a drive when I first got it running has MAJOR death wobble at 45 mph. She is going to need a ton of work.
I wish someone would have given me that truck Damn sure worth fixing up Not many left with bodies that good anymore
I still may end up with it. Don't think the engine is long for the world.
@@flatbrokegarage good candidate for a v 8 swap
good video
Thanks! It's a cool little truck.
I'd drive it city driving daily, hell with it lol. Here in Indiana that's minimal rust
My buddy ended up with it and gave it a complete mechanical refresh and back on the road

Man, that sucks. I'm sure there is someone producing those motor mounts. They use S10s frames for everything. Good luck! and thanks for watching

save it. looks pretty cool to me
Interesting
Should be saved that's a nice truck would be better with a v8 if u had one laying around
My buddy ended up with it. He's in the process of rebuilding the front end. It will be saved for sure
Good 4x4 for snowplowing in winter
I'm set, already own 2 4x4s. But I like this one. Don't know if he'll keep it.
