Hello, I just was given an S10 pickup and it has some problems and I do not know exactly how serious the problems are and if they are fixable.
1) the inner fender wells are rusted out
2) The left, front cab mount is rotted away and needs replacing
3) the underside crossmember is rotted and so the mounts for holding the bed at one of the corners (the drivers side rear actually) can not be bolted down.
There are other things like it needs a distributor , cap, and rotor and coolant overflow resivior is not there, and suspension work but this is all minor to me. It is the 3 above things that I am not sure of.
Is #1 something that is needed?
Does the cab need to be removed to do #2
#3 I think will not be too terribly tough if I remove the bed.
How difficult of a project am I really looking at here. IS this stuff all bolt on things or am I gonna need to call my nephew who is a welder?
