A little update on this truck and a new temporary yard beater.
I haven't done anything to the truck in the shop since the 05 silverado sat in the shop for over a week and a half waiting for a new windshield. And the weather has been pretty terrible! Still snow on the ground and figured I'd wait it out. I'll be able to finally get the truck in the shop to do some more work to it tomorrow.
I need to change the trans filter and fluid, fuel filter, air filter, and spark plugs. I removed a plug today and it still had the originals! I'll get that all dealt with soon!
The truck needed a rear view mirror so I figured why not install a compass/temp mirror so that's what I did. I was able to steal almost the entire harness down to the dash and was pretty easy to wire up. Power from the radio, ground, and the wire to the temp sensor. That's about all I have done to this thing recently!

Another truck showed up, and this truck will be parted. I hate to, but there is so much cancer on this thing. The entire door rocker is about missing along with all the other rust and the guy hit a tree. Picked it up for $100!! From what I know it was purchased and lived in Michigan until 2014 or so, then some guy paid $9,000 for it in Oregon, then sold it to this guy two months ago who drove it down here and hit a tree so then we ended up with it. Whoever owned it spent a bunch of money on it like $1200 for a complete brake job and another $1700 on an entire front end rebuild. Whoever this person was threw money at it!
Now this thing drives super straight and the interior is in excellent shape. It's a 2000 S10 with the 2.2 four banger and a NV1500 5 speed manual. Here is the kicker, it has 84k on the clock! Definitely low mileage for what it is. If there was no rust on the thing I would be fixing it up with new front end sheet metal.
Really sucks but the rust kills this truck to me as a fix and flip vehicle. So it's going for parts! Even has an almost full tank of gas! Gas to feed the c1500.
