Nice grats man
New Project Vehicle
So me and my wife decided a couple of years ago when money was tight to sell my car and be a one car family. It has been tough but we have made due. Well my father came into some money and decided he wanted me to get a truck I could drive around town (to the bowling alley mostly) and fix up over time.
Introducing my 83 S10 I bought for $700 ... It runs and drives. Leaks a bit of oil but I am going to replace all the seals which hopefully fixes that. It was also lowered THE WRONG WAY which I am getting fixed tomorrow. Guy removed the front springs completely on it in the front and mono leafed the back with drop blocks. Ordered new Belltech coils, shocks, spindles, and new upper + lower ball joints that will be installed tomorrow. Once I fix the oil leak I will have a ride to the alley 24/7 no more waiting for my wife to get home or catching a ride with a friend when the kids have something going on at night.
Nice grats man

I had an old truck once that I fixed up -- it was a '55 Chevy...
Nice. Congrats! That's actually pretty clean looking for the year.

Thanks guys! Yeah it seems to be a solid truck. Plan on having it done in 3 years so i can start on a 2nd one. Have 2 boys ages 9 and 6 and I want to be able to give them matching trucks when they each hit 16 with a few differences of course but yeah. Starting early so I have plenty of time to get them reliable and safe as well as good looking.
Sounds awesome. I've been without a hot-rod project since the wife and I bought our house two years ago. Man, I've been itching... Seeing your pics doesn't help. lol.
Anyway, keep putting up pics of the progress!

Your boys will love a truck when they turn 16!!
New front suspension is in and it rides like a dream. It came back up in the front a couple of inches but looks even with the back now.
