I sold it around 5 years ago, and have wanted another.

Welcome the new Hooptie!!

Both are/were 2.5L/5speeds

Liking that.

The beige of the old one really appeals to me as well.

I'm going to have the new one painted in Beige/tan/sand like the last one.

This one will get a V8 and overdrive transmission.

They are fun little trucks. Like driving a go-cart. I'm sure you'll go through tires with a V8.

I just can't see spending money for a swap for a 3.4 v6...

Mine has the 4.3, plenty of power for my little go-cart. I did put a 3.1 from a Trans Am in my old one though. It had the 2.8 boat anchor.

So thing are moving along, I found a bed in a salvage yard that is 95% plus nice, mine is beat to crap and has a 16x16 hole cut into the bed for fuel pump access :crazy:

This one had a camper shell on it for a long time, probably since new, the inside bed is that nice.

So this is 150.00

And I'm on my way to get some of these parts, namely the door and front fenders.

Complete doors for 100/ea, is a good deal

Re: My new Hooptie
 
Money well spent.

New bed is cheap.

I still think that pensioner hearing aid beige is one of the coolest colours/colors.

You guys have so much access to parts, here in the UK, zero.

I would love a tow bar for my S10 but unobtainable.

Those parts were such a win.

Looking good.

If you were closer I'd make you a deal on them. I plan (at this time) to run these wheels ...

Still love your truck.

Nice modifications you are bringing along.

Tank is huge.

Wheels look tidy.
