Default No Fbody...My new DD 350,000 mile S10 After a good detail!!!

Well heres my new daily driver..Just got it about 2 weeks ago. I bought two tucks for $1200. Both 2000 S10s. One ran and drove and this one needed a tranny. It was pretty nasty, but after a good cleaning its a really nice truck and runs very well for the miles. The Pewter truck was nicer, (more miles) but no rust and no major dents, dings. The White truck has around 290,000 in it. But its got a little rust and other things I didnt want to mess with. Soo Im taking this one and selling the other. Just got the windows tinted Now time to make it cool!



2000 S10 LS 4.3 Auto 2WD 351,XXX miles on orginal motor. Oil is very clean, runs smooth, no SES light. All highway miles. It was a company truck.



MONEY!!!

I didnt take too many before pictures, I pulled everything out to clean the inside (except the dash). I hung the carpet up and power washed it, steamed and degreased the seats.






Notice the scum building on the back glass!!!!!!!!


The paint is pretty stone chipped on the hood and fenders. I had to remove all the vinyls also. I just threw a qucik wax on with my orbital and made a world of difference. I plan on doing a 3 step polish once it gets nice outside and I can take my time and do it right.

Cleaned up and ready to drive!







Also I just purchaced a set of OEM Polished C6 wheels with tires. As soon as I get spacers Ill probably put them on.









BAM!


Plans for the truck:

Sonoma Hood
Painted Grill, Bumper
Roll Pan
Bed Liner
and a small Drop Kit.

my 2.2 is about to hit 200,000. I love it. Parts are super cheap as everyone has one. Once you start modding you'll want more and more for it like always. (most run 3" spacer in the rear for c6 wheels) watch the head gasket on the 4.3. Get 94-97 s10 exterior door handles as they are smooth without the texture and paint them to match the truck. If you part the other truck I could use parts off it.

I had to put head gaskets on the white truck..It runs just as well..Iv got it for sale locally right now.

Heres a picture of it! Its got a few spots of runs on the bed and one cab corner. Then a few dents too..I just like the Pewter color is the only reason Im keeping it lol

Friend had an S2000 that had the living **** beat out of it and treated him and his brother good for a long time. Bought it for $500 or something like that I believe.
