don't buy a s10 ever they eat wheel beaing ball joints and are a PITA to work on..
i got my first one when i was 13(17 now) its a 2wd 4cyl short box that i played around with untill i broke the frame. along the way we got my grampys old one (2wd 4.0 short box) for parts. then dad said the another one that he had lying around out back had a decent frame but was otherwise almost stripped so i got to rebuilding it a couple years ago. progress has been slow but i finished stripping it and now I'm slowly getting it back together.......
