yea, the hood is kinda ricer...but I can't do anything about it because there are holes drilled in the hood to make them functional. And yes, that's a heater under the dash. The heater core is shot so one of the previous owners by-passed it and put the electric heater in the truck...works pretty good :).

The truck was bought as a project and I will continue to work on it until I'm happy with it. When I got it it was very unreliable(had a stalling problem) and I had to use AAA twice in a matter of 4 days after getting the truck.

Things left to do to the truck:
Get it inspected
fix the heater core
Get the speedo calibrated for the gears
Get DR's and take it to the track:twisted:

hahaha nice vin well good luck with it. are you hooking up the nitrous?

hahaha nice vin well good luck with it. are you hooking up the nitrous?

no, the nitrous kit is "for sale" even though I'm not eager to sell it. It's an efi kit that can be put on the camaro if I really wanted to, but the mom says as long as I live under her roof, there will be no nitrous in either cars.(Might have something to do with my dad losing his camaro back in the 80's due to a nitrous back-fire:rofl:) Anyway, I just put the stock/non performance computer back in the truck and it still lights up those 235's without a problem. This truck should run side by side with a mild lt18-). it will make it to the track within the next month.

Thanks. I plan on doing little odds and ends to make it a really nice truck, and then I'll probably sell it to fund something big for the camaro:nod:

lol, I did that to mess with Matt and Adam. Let's see how long it takes for this thread to go down the drain....:lol:. If I decide to get serious with this truck, I'll have it tick off a 13.99 before the end of the year.

I'm sure it could tow the camaro, but there is no hitch on it, and the truck is lowered so it'd be more of a pain than anything.

I'd be selling the kit as a whole. I don't want any parts laying around. I've had some1 interested in the bottle, but I really don't want to part it out. PM me what your interested in. It's not making me any money sitting in my garage, and I could use the money to do stuff to the dakota.

hmmm...didn't even know it was listed on craigslist. I have to make a trip to the junk yard within a few weeks because it's missing 1 molding, I'll have to see if they have any black hoods that I could pick up for cheap.

Well, I already have people offering me close to 3 grand for the truck. It's a big hit at my High School(Getting more compliments in this than the camaro...haha). I think I may unload it once I get healthy enough to DD the camaro again. I'm kinda liking this 2 car idea though...possibly LT1 shopping now...:D

You have 2 cars, one being an ls1 6 speed, and your still in high school? pretty cool i guess. Truck will be nice and clean once you replace the hood lol. I wish they made a v8 s10 :(

Yep...and I still have another year to go...lol. The camaro is high mileage so I didn't spend that much on it. I also work 25+ hours a week making descent money for my age. The truck will get a new hood whenever I find my self at the junkyard looking for parts. I was actually looking at getting something like what the dakota is(small truck/nice v8) for my first car, and now I have it. The truck definitely shouldn't be a first car, it's a lot easier to lose control of it on the turns if you don't use your head.

there are plenty of v8 s10s rolling around. and they are so easy to convert. you need a motor, wiring harness, and the motor mount conversion kit. its so easy even a caveman can do it.
