Is this where I can get hookers and blow?

Been on the forum for awhile just lurking but my name is Shane and I'm from Northeast Ohio. I was driving a 3/4 dropped s10 until the 2.2 in it went out. I was tempted to drop my 350 in it but everyone and their grandmothers have sbc dimes. I am currently looking for a decent starter truck but it's not exactly easy to find these trucks in good shape without too many problems. Just looking to gain some knowledge and see some sweet trucks Also wondering if there are any common problems to look for when checking one out... The one I was looking at is having a fuel problem and I guess something with the carb. I'm not really a carb guy so I'm thinking about dropping a 4g63t into one just because I've owned many Eclipses and just love those engines. Now that I have a good job stit might actually happen. Thanks for having me fellas
I guess I can post up some pics of previous vehicles but I'm rocking no car status right meow.
My dime that just blew up.


97 GS-t when it started out. Red one was a NA daily...


Then after a cheap paint job, new hood and what not it became this.




Ran low 12s which isn't too bad for a fwd. lol

Old Blazer, f250 made me get a whole new front end and then some douche in a Civic decided to cut me off after 2 months of fixing it.
