Basically all I have in life is making sure my S10 is serviceable as my hearse. I keep telling my next of kin "Don't you rent no fuckin' flatbed Cadillac when I've got a perfectly serviceable Chevrolet. It carried me everywhere while I was alive, it can carry me one more time." Which for most of my adult life has meant keeping the thing in roadworthy condition, but now that I think about it probably also means I'm going to have to build an S10 compatible casket. I'm a slightly short and stocky guy, so you could build me a crate that'll fit between the bulkhead and the tailgate, but I bet all the ones down at the local funeral home are built for a 6 foot tall man, and that ain't gonna work.
I like my little truck, is what I'm trying to say.
Step side or no? I had 2 s10s in the late 90s and early 00’s since a dear took one from me. Loved those little trucks tho, both were that like copper/bronze/gold color. One stick and one automatic
Smooth side, V6, 4 speed automatic, pewter metallic paint with chrome trim, charcoal interior. She's got 240,000 miles on the clock, I figure about 60,000 more and I'll have her properly broken in. She's my 16th birthday present and the only thing I've ever touched that didn't turn to pus.
Nice, both of mine were over 200k when I bought them almost 20 years ago. Amazing yours just passed 200k now. Hope it lasts for ya, great vehicle.
For years I commuted by motorcycle, and I've got a Buick I'm using up instead of my pickup at the moment.
