I had alot of work iin that truck too. I help cart it around to get it painted, put the motor back in and a little of the reassembly. Mark Manasco built that truck. He was the original owner.
i neglected the fact that radar help out alot too, my bad, LOL, I stopped by every couple weeks to check out the progress during my trips between houston and corpus christi
I bought an s10 from my sister in law which was featured in MT and been catching alot of crap about wanting to keep the same paint job but make some changes to make it my own....glad to hear others agree you can still keep a paint job and modernizing the rest of the truck a bit and still have a nice ride.....plus being her 1st car she owned gives her a chance to buy it back down the road and it'll still be near how she owned it
