As of Dec 13th 2007 the 93 S10 you see before you have been sold. It has been a joyful 3yrs and I hope the new owner has many more joyful years to come. Thanks Randall.
One last picture at the home of where the truck was droped off
1993 Chevy S-10, 2.8L V6, 5 spd with AC. Unkown true mileage due to broken odometer at time of purchase.
I purchase this truck in Nov 2004 because I was getting tired of hauling all types of shit in my other two cars, especially home improvement stuff. Besides, doesn't every man wants to have his own truck someday?
Your basic suspension and cosmetic will be in the works, everything else will be stock. Just as long as the mod bug doesn't bite :)
Before I purchase the truck I knew there was water in the oil and after doing a little search I've come to learn it's a very common problem for the intake manifold gasket to leak on the 2.8L. So if you're in Charlotte NC with a busted intake manifold gasket, my labor rate is cheap :)
Here's a running tally
$1000 for truck
$65 head gasket kit
$20 rear glass
$20 4x4 black fender trims
$5 Haynes service manual
$40 weld and grind intake manifold
$25 misc. eng repair items, gasket, plugs, etc.

$15 front brake pads

***When it came to removing the heater core, I give all credit to this site listed below. Some might say you have to take out the entire dash to get to the core, but following the direction on this site will save you the headache. Take your time pulling out the heater core cover and you will not crack yours like I did mine, nothing a little JB Weld couldn't fix***
