I am selling my S-10 due to changes that are inevitable in my life. I have owned the truck for 18 years- actually since I was 18. It’s really quite painful for me to be selling it. I have a lot of good memories with this truck- and a lot of frustration. But more so- I have learned an incredible amount about mechanical systems while building it. And I think that is what I will miss the most. Everyone notices it as it goes down the road. People stop and take pictures, they come up to me and chat. But I will miss the learning process.
Truck was fully original before I bought it, and had only changed hands 1 time prior to that. It was a base model truck, nothing fancy. No sought after options packages, etc. A perfect candidate to be hot-rodded. I have always been into mini-trucks, and its nice to see them finally getting some mainstream attention, and appreciation in the hot-rodding world.
