Where is everyone #5

S-10 Blazer... still running pretty good...









After years of neglect... it became very rusted and I had to get it restored....

Before restoration...



It took several months... but they did a superb great job!! Two older brothers in their 70's in their family shop...











Now that baby sits in a locked covered storage and I only use it once in a while....

 

Sweet. My parents had one just like it when i was little

 

How much money you put into that?

 

Good for you!
I don't like being around drinking and drunk people... some become silly, others violent... I don't like neither one... and I hate the smell of alcohol in people's breath...
I drank some when I was a teenager and in my 20's and 30's but wasn't ever a fan of alcohol.... and it was easy to not drink again at age of 35... I don't miss it at all... I can do and enjoy all I want without alcohol... actually I like to enjoy things while being sober... much more intense and realistic experience...

 

For the restoration... almost 15K...

 

Plain Jane 2wd 2dr with a 4.3l. Not many of those were built. I've owned 3 or S10/15 pickups, 1 4x4 Jimmy. But for years we built race trucks out of them. Regular cab S10 short beds full cage, 406 small block chevs on alcohol. Raced 1/3 mile dirt tracks. 120 mph plus. Wild younger years. Between the rust and racing those trucks are hard to find around here. I would drive one everyday if I could find a nice one. Best mini truck ever.

I was not the driver, just wrench.

 

That sucks. Tell me though, you just didn't stand there and watch him do it, did you?

 

Sweet little truck @Rocks
Literally got this unit on the road today. It will be our 2nd vehicle, and our daughter who has a learners permit will learn on it. Its a unicorn. Full load, 4wd, 5spd manual. 2005, last year they made them. Just finished rebuilding the transmission ( new input gear, countershaft and bearings.)
Both my kids will have learned on a manual.

 

PILOT...payments in lieu of taxes. Big scam.
But hey, corporations are people too you know...
