About my S10

This is my S-10, I bought it from my grandpa when I was 16; now im 19, a full time student, in the Reserves, and a tech at Sears Auto Center, not to mention a president of a local auto club, so I dont sleep much. I first added window tent, a static 3/4-drop, exhaust, taillights, a billet grill and bumper and wheels and tires. It was my only vehicle until dec. 2007. Now that I have a car I can drive around I have been putting allot more time into it! I First did all the body work and paint myself took me 3 months then it was summer so I stopped working and started to enjoy it. Now its winter again I’m back in the garage, first some friends, and me bagged it, all parts from suicide doors, then I re-did the exhaust, raised the y pipe and put on a flowmaster supper 44 with a down pipe. I'm planning on tubing the bed and redoing the entire interior that I haven’t already done still before spring! So hopefully I don’t run out of time and money! Well let me know what you think and I’m always up to meet more people!

Nice dude, the truck is looking sick. I have a few things left to do to the runner, but I might be selling it so I don't know.

hey man love the paint job on your truck, especially knowing you did all the work. i'm thinking about going with a flat black all around for now, then adding some ol' skool pinstriping.

It was never 4wd. Although all 4runners have a 4wd frame and suspension. I bought it because of it being a 2wd thought it might of been easier, but no it would have been the same either way. Nice S10 its pretty clean.

Hey i have no clue how long my bed took. Worked on it here and there over a year or so. I built the frame under the sheet metal first then did the sheetmetal maybe a month later then did all the bodywork so....thats the timeline I know. haha.

Looks good man.  My first truck was a std. cab.  I miss it.  They can look sooo sweet. Dig the paint job too. Nice and clean.  Keep up the good work!
