1998 s-10 project

[ttamrettus]

I just picked up a 1998 s-10 project.
4 cylinder automatic needs some help but I think it has potential.
I got it for $1000
16 Boyds wheels, tires are not new and have hardly any tread left
aluminum Husky tool box in bed
hopefully I can get around to checking the compression and such this weekend.

So here is the next update.
I bought a 1996 s-10 (green one) for $500. Got it home, swapped the catalytic convertor for one Dad had in the barn. Now it runs like a champ. Swapped the seats with the burgundy one, swapped a broken taillight and some other small pieces. The Burgundy truck is pretty nice and is scheduled for a 2.2 cavalier engine and a NICE northern interior. The southern trucks may have 0 rust but the interior are usually BEAT.

Well the green truck was in front of my brothers work for 1 day. 15 calls and the first guy to look at it bought it. $1500 out the door. We simply put an old catalytic convertor on it, added a good drivers side mirror, added a passenger side mirror housing (broken glass), changed the oil and filter, swapped the front bench seat and removed all the bumper stickers.

what's next for the red one?

We believe that a 2.2 cavalier long block is the same. So unless anyone wants to give me $2000 as it sits, the red one will be getting a new engine. They say the cavalier 2.2 has a few more HP than the s10 2.2 also.

Well the truck runs and drives. It has a new (to the truck) 4 cylinder engine. It started up right away. It has newer seats and a newer carpet. There are a few small things that need to fixed before it sells. My brother is probably gonna drive it for a couple weeks to "shake it down" then it gets a sign in it.

example of items it needs, seat recliner handle, driver mirror, headlight clip, orange marker light bulb, rear bumper light housing. the major item is a windshield as it got cracked when I towed it up here and a rock hit it.

BTW I think the green truck I sold is back up for sale on your into Burton near the square on 87. I don't think the guy could teach his daughter to drive stick.
