I saw a gmc sonoma. (Same as s10 just gmc) It looked kinda beat up/cheap (definately a winter beater). It's a private owner, I don't know much about it though, I'll go run by it here later tonight and give update. It's down in Charleston, Illinois. Dunno if you interested in that drive or not. About all I can tell ya is it's red haha. Give me an hour or two I'll update.

How much would you be willing to pay for one that already has an LT1 conversion done, slammed, shaved door handle, lots of billet, and other stuff done to it? It needs paint and other stuff to finish it up...if the guy still has it this thing would be killer to have....I almost bought it but Im not a fan of shaved door handles and didnt want to have to spend the money to get it painted.

Don't know if you are intersted in what I was talkin about or not. It said on the sign as of 11/7/08 it was $600 and price goes down $10 a day. It is short bed I don't know what kinda mileage it has on it, looks like it has had rough life by the looks of the body. I'm probably makin it sound worse than it is. I have his cell number if you want it. For the price it seems like a good buy assuming it's in good running condition, especially if you're gonna do a swap next year.
Almost possitive the body style is 94-97 and It is an s10 I didn't get a good look at it before I guess.

ive seen that ad.Its a little more than what I was wanting to spend.I dont need a show truck or anything,just something that isnt too rusty or beat to hell.Some body work or interior work isnt a problem as long as its liveable.I dont want to spend over 1500 so im not looking for anything great,just something to drive and tinker with over the winter to last me until next spring/summer when I buy a house.
