Hey I feel ya' man! I have a 95 S10 that Im working on... I dont have NEARLY as much dough as most of the people on these boards so I kind of work when I can and buy what I need...
Like right now Im in the final stages of getting all the maintenace out of the way... Like upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman and idler arms, as well as changing all the fluids...
Anyway... Thats off subject! You can make some beautiful stuff happen with a 1500... Air ride that thing... Slap some sweet chrome and rubber on it, shave everything and call it a day!
