Looks like you've got a solid runner for a while and I agree that patina on the tailgate is perfect. I love how cheap and easy these S10s are to fix and upgrade. Not to mention the crazy amount of aftermarket parts. Lift it, slam it, V8 swap it, turbo it, options are endless.
Have fun with the rear wheel cylinders. Any parts you need your free to use my commercial account at Napa. Next time you see me I will give you the info if your interested.
Nice truck! I just bought an 85 S-10 myself and I'm going to just daily drive it also. the 4 speed trans is burned up so I'm just going to put an auto in it, I also have a couple of Bucket seats out a 86 Cavalier that I'm going to put in it, my kids are grown so I won't new a bench seat, Mine it Blue but I don;t like Blue so I'll end up repainting and for the paint job I'm just going to get a couple of quarts of that ready to spray paint Duplicolor paint and paint it in Champaign Gold and i'm going to to just dye the interior Black because the bucket seats are in really good shape and they are already black
That all sounds great. I'm glad to see another s10 staying on the road. I would however like to trade your 4 speed for my 700r4. I prefer the 3 pedals.
@@ChrisThedudenurse I prefer 3 pedals too but I spent 21 years in the Army jumping out of Airplanes and Helicoptors and my knees don't always work right now so I have to have an automatic. Where do you live?
Your truck looks solid, that’s just surface rust. POR will stop the rust then you can coat it with whatever paint on top after that. I put it on my vehicles, just make sure you scrape the loose rust off and hit it with brake clean and make sure it’s dry.
Awesome man !! I’m watching all sorts of s10 videos since I bought one for $600
That’s awesome!!!! I love seeing and hearing about these getting rescued.

You ain't lying.
Good job man. I'm currently tackling an 88 s10 Tahoe & trying to find a coolant leak. Hoping to get mines daily-able soon:)
Awesome, I hope it’s nothing major.
Aint a finer minitruck on the planet!
I agree
I’m getting my dads 85 4x4 s15 back this week from having the engine rebuilt. I’m going to daily it as well!
That’s awesome
I agree, perfect patina
Yeah I really don’t want to change it at all.
Id just wax it to preserve it.
I just bought a clean 89 s10 Tahoe but am having a heck of a time finding OEM parts where I am at.
There's no harm in going after market.
I see you in NC too!! I just got a s10 I want to fix back up but I don't know where to start 😂
Start with the very easiest 1st, fix that then move on to harder and harder things until it’s all back together.

I might take you up on that.
My stock 88 is my daily driver.
Nice, what's the engine?
