    PSA:
    For those wondering, the "OBS" moniker Rob keeps repeating ad infinitum here stands for
    "old body style" - as in the more squared-off designs prevalent in domestic pickups up until
    the obnoxious "jelly bean" era of design took over in all facets of vehicle design in the early 90's -
    a design theme that continues more or less in all passenger vehicles to this day.

Got it out, cleaned the mud off, and as a joke had a buddy of mine hand letter “Saguaro River Trail Survivor” w with a picture of a river underneath. After that I got like 12 offers to buy my S10, last offer was too good to pass up. Come to found out, he was a former Saguaro Park ranger lol.

    The problem is once it takes so long to acquire a Chevy that you can barely afford it you dump so much money into it,then you love it and you know you can't just go and buy another cause they hard to get from someone,minimum it gonna cost you if you buy it cheap,by the time you fix it up the way you want it you could have 5 grand into it.
    Yes there's other truck you can buy and sell but it's different once the truck been rusted bad.
    If you got the money to do then do it.
    The issue is some people have so much money but they are too lazy and sick to work on a truck and if they do they never finish it.
    90's gm truck are awesome,if you got the money to put into it just make sure you do it right.

Hurried to the back of the station wagon to sniff some of those HIGHLY DANGEROUS Hydrocarbons. I think, I may have been permanently brain damaged. Just to think I was a SNIFFER/HUFFER Back in the day!!! I knew there was a legit reason why I didn't get to ride the bus with all of the others!. Oh well, get the place finished and a guesstimate/estimate/Projection date. What ever to help eliminate the cameras being set up across the street to see the actual progress of it all. Loved that Ethyl!! Yeah, I'll take a whiff, and that's where it all started! Create a story out of that one Rob and Acknowledge that you weren't a sniffer yourself!!
