Tag: Chevy S-10 Durango

First, I wanted to say that this weekend I will post, but I could be late in responding to comments…I will when I get breaks from this. 

We have had this vehicle for around 17 years or so. It stopped running a long time ago, and we stored it at a friend’s house. I’ve had many offers on it (believe it or not), but I never wanted to sell it. A truck can come in handy, and my buddy Greg has an engine and transmission that would fit perfectly. It is a 1985 Chevy S-10 Durango. It’s not too pretty, but it will be able to get you from A to B, and it makes a great trash truck on the weekends. 

This weekend (that’s the plan), he is going to show me how to take an engine out and put one back in. He has a diesel engine that went into a Chevy Luv in the 80s, and they get around 40 mpg. The truck was dirty as hell, and it took me 3 scrubbing bubbles cans to get the tree sap and everything else off of it. This week, after work, Greg and I took the grill, bumper, and headlights off. I guess you are never too old to learn. 

I’ll let everyone know how it goes…hopefully everything will go through, and Saturday we will start. I will be commenting, but I will be late!
