Vehicle1999 Chevrolet S-10
I found the base vehicle on
eBay and made the mistake of
buying it sight unseen. It
started out being an Xtreme
S-10 but on delivery it was
obvious it had suffered a lot
of abuse.

I have taken this truck to several car shows
since it was completed and it never fails to
draw a crowd.

While I normally don't drive it in the snow
a recent unexpected snow fall proved the
near 50/50 weight distribution also makes
this vehicle very agile on slippery roads.
