Attempting a 600 Mile Drive In a FORGOTTEN Chevy S10 (multiple Issues)

HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 7 янв 2021
  • After doing some professional paint correction, adding some nice new tires and wheels it's time to see if this 1986 Chevrolet S10 pickup will make the 600 mile journey from Eastern Minnesota to Northwestern North Dakota. That is where I plan on giving it to my brother for free and he has no idea. Of course this would not be a vice grip garage journey without plenty of obstacles in the way including sub 0 temperatures and no heater. Will I make it? Watch and find out!

    A guy misses his old '93 S10, last of the square body. Never cared for 94's on what with all the swoops and child safe corners. That '93 and I had some fond memories after 380k or so miles. One fond memory was when the truck needed its second replacement clutch and the broken springs fell between the clutch disk and flywheel rendering the clutch pedal useless. Sure, a feller could've replaced it right away, but I did the right thing and just kept on driving it daily for the next 6 months, and replacing both the clutch disk, and a starter. Have to say though, I got pretty good at RPM matching for shifts, even for downshift. Also learned the space to drop and replace that starter was tighter than Roseanne Barr's girdle.
