Well I found the truck I have been looking for after waiting for a good deal, and I think I got a good buy on this one! 1995 Std. cab short bed with 111k miles on a 2.2. I got a good base to make this truck, "the truck", I have had in my head, and had dreams of driving.

Theres ALOT of stuff thats gonna be going on. You wont find out the next step till I post pictures. I can say this wont look anything like it does now. I can give a hint on one thing! 5.7.

Pics do the talkin. Im not posting them all. For all the pics theres a Photobucket link!

*Gos to photobucket to upload pictures*

Edit: PhotoBucket link! http://s212.photobucket.com/albums/cc33/Tuckarson/

Re: (Project) "Finders keepers"

would you prefer i say "it would be swell"? pimp sounds so much better. plus i live in jersey and thats how we talk. *******.
Um, name one ******* that came out of north baton rouge parish... yankee.

I agree pimp is better then swell.

Edit: I take that back... on the funny side, swells better.

I know im so excited!

As my friend 2dxtreme said, this truck is a VIRGIN! The dash looks like and the bolts look like no one has ever took this thing apart! No scraches on the screws.

Stock speakers and all!

Edit: I get prices on a whole rebuild kit tomorrow! Peice by peice its 225$

Re: (Project) "Finders keepers"

Re: (Project) "Finders keepers"

WELL! i ran watter thru it, the rear heater core for the rear heat was leaking like a sob, but i kept watter in it and its not smoking now! (Well VERRY little)

She Sounds so sweet! It made me tingle thinking about it as i reved it up to redline!

I still think ima rebuild it before it goes in the s10. just cuz i have my friend casey and its cheap. And the simple fact i may run low boost... (Shhhh)

Ima paint his dash peices, and he helps me rebuild my engine! :)

:woot: For paint Trade!
