We got a call from a guy who had an abandoned S10 in his yard and wanted it gone. I offered him $100 and we went up to get it. His room mate was a drug addict and left the truck there for 3 years. I figured it would be a big pile of crap. When we got there he told us it ran so we jumped it off and drove it up on the trailer. Other than a couple of rust holes and the stupid stickers all over it the little thing was in good shape and ran like a sewing machine.
My GF, Steph, liked it and I told her we would check it out. Got home and found receipts for a new crate engine in 2000 and a new transmission in 1998. (2.8 auto). We applied for abandoned vehicle title and waited.

The first thing she did was get out the LMC catalog and decided she wanted the newer style front end on it.
We stuck a free topper we had laying around and stuck some stuff in the back it while the title cleared.
