Bought a new (to me) truck

I bought a 91 s-10 today! Its a black extended cab, grey interior, 4.3 v-6 with a bit of work (cam, msd ignition and some internal work). It has new tires and rims, dual exhaust and a few other odds and ends (lowered a bit, maybe 2/3 drop). Both the interior and exterior need a little comestic work, but its all easy stuff. I work at a small dealership and can get parts for next to nothing. Also can use the garage at work or at my uncles shop, so tools and parts are covered. I'm mechically inclined so I'll be doing all the work myself, including body work. Hopefully I'll have it all licensed and insured before the weekend, but have other bills to be paid first so we'll see... I'll take some pics tomorrow when I pick it up... Oh, and I bought it from my friend josh for 400.00, should be a good project truck.

Sweet, good luck w/ that truck.
BTW, is it a central multi port motor or is it throttle body? I cant remember what year they changed over.
And how many miles are on it?
Sounds like a pretty decent buy tho for $400

Drop a 350 in it :) Surprisingly easy swap in those trucks, I've seen it done many times.

The 4.3 responds well to mod's, so i'll probably just leave it. It's surpose to be bored 30 over, have a cam, and had port and polish worked done... I got it in the garage but havent really had the chance to look it all over. I know it sounds pretty loopy, so it I dont doubt the cam part. I'm going out tomorrow and investagating some more, so I'll know more then.

Sounds like a really nice truck. The 4.3 is a really nice motor I wish my s10 had one instead of the 2.2, but oh well. Have fun with it.

Hehe, gatoraid and chicken? Tomorrow I should be doing massive burn outs!
It'll be a nice change, I have a 2.3 ranger now.
