      5 or 6 years ago maybe, now I don't believe I will. The car was a pile of Shit when my step mom gave it to me at 13, I wrecked it my senior year coming home from work, spent the next 5 years off and on learning/doing body work and finally got it ready for the painter. I've had the complete interior out of it, and there's literally nothing on the car that I haven't had out at some point along the way aside from the gas tank. When the bumper fillers rooted out again in the rear and the paint started having a few issues for to my lack of bodywork skills, I knew I didn't have it in me to watch it deteriorate, I knew I wasn't going to strip the car and do the bodywork again, and I'm not going to drop the coin to pay someone to do the job like it n I ds to be. I work on cars every day for a living and I hate seeing the same car for long projects. It was time for this one to find a new home. The guy that bought it was stoked so I know I did the right thing.

        Fuck it, cut it loose. I've never looked back at any car I sold.

          The only regret I have was never putting it on the rollers to see how shitty the power really was and what the nitrous actually made. I did a back to back pass of 10.97 2.5 60ft @ 62mph and 8.38 1.67 60ft @ 8x mph at Sanger. I always wanted to know and never took the time to get it on a dyno.

              Anyone know of a clean square body s10 or s15 extended cab? Roller would be nice, stick or auto doesn't matter

                I know where an S15 Blazer is, set up with a 305. If you're looking for "mint" then it's not the one. But it is pretty cheap.

                  Check out the DFW S10 page on facebook, there are a couple on there, not sure how clean though.

                  Just looked, there is a slammed running 93 S10 for $3k, a roller 2 door Blazer for $800 and a reg cab roller for an unlisted price.

                    I don't have Facebook but I'll have a buddy look at that and send me info. I'd like a pretty clean truck. It will likely get the rear frame narrowed and at least a 6 point built in it. Sanger seems to harrass the little trucks for not having a cage if some sort.

                        I dont know about clean, but a friend of a friend was going to an extended cab over a single, Ill see if I can come up with some info on it. Pretty sure it was a gutted drag truck.

                          I'd prefer an extended cab, I've considered a blazer, just hadn't searched for any. I'd like something that still had the ac components, I want to be comfortable and able to drive it regularly if desired. I'm used to the bottled being in arms reach and ran a dual bracket in the Buick, hence the extended cab part.

                            There was a navy blue single cab S-10 sitting next to the pawn shop in Calera by the west side of the highway. Isn't a cream puff but would make a decent project truck.
