Well the way life has been throwing one curve after another at me I now have a use for a small pickup again. After much looking and negotiating I purchased a 2000 S10 ext cab 4X2 with a four cylinder and automatic.
pics and requests to follow lol

if you get any snow up your way you will need 6 or 7 sand bags.

these things are not too bad of a small truck. after all they are identical to what the post office uses.

**old Rusty C10** · 01-29-2010, 11:50 PM

i had a 99 ranger for years and sold that a year ago that was great but i think any RWD will need sandbags or something back there to give you some traction

**old Rusty C10** · 02-03-2010, 12:16 AM

finally picked it up tonight... after i was able to get the registration on it. Maybe tomorrow ill take some pics..

2.2 auto??? Don't EVEN pull out in front of anybody, that thing won't get out of it's own way. Great fuel economy though.

I bought the 5spd for that reason, plus the 5spd gets a mile or two more per gallon as well.

its not as bad as it could be for pulling out dern thing was abused in its previous life and needs some parts but aint as bad as it could be

67ChevyRedneck · 02-04-2010, 02:27 AM

That looks pretty dang nice!!!

Damien · 02-04-2010, 11:19 AM

Looks pretty good for this time of the year. It looks like it just needs to get a bath.

**old Rusty C10** · 02-04-2010, 11:28 AM

we had a little show and the salt trucks were out so it kicked some salt up onto it. Its not that bad.. there are dings in the front bumper, the back of the bed and the lower valance is broken. Inside the thing is filfthy but it appears to be an old contractors truck
the jack is missing, the right side mirror is frozen so you cant adjust it, the radio loses memory, the seats need work. Its not major stuff just a whole bunch of little stuff to be annoying

jitteryguy · 02-04-2010, 11:56 PM

look's good ! my brother has a 2000 with the 2.2 he bought new, it has really been a good truck .

**old Rusty C10** · 02-05-2010, 01:30 PM

ill be honest with my wife being sick the whole idea was to get rid of the large truck we werent driving and go down to one car. My little toyota was too small anyway and we went for a camry. My step daughter has informed me that she is moving out so now instead of having someone come with me when i drive in NYC to deliver papers, I need to have a commercial vehicle so i can park and let the person who was riding with me and moving the car so i didnt get tickets, sit with my wife. This truck will fit the bill and not get horrible gas mileage, plus i really do like the idea of haivng a truck around in case i need to haul something, and that happens enough here. My 82 is too big and old to be of much use and it gets worse mileage than the ford f150 we had.That is just gonna sit and get slowly restored
