Friar Truck the "No Budget" S10

[CraigSnedeker]

Edit: just skip to page 6, you won't regret it

I just picked up a 1999 S10 pickup for $600. It runs but needs some TLC.

Once I get a job I want to stance it out, but that is going to be a while.





It's a barebones truck, but like I said, it runs, so I'm not complaining. I needed a car and am thankful I am able to stay in the S10 family.

Of course, I got busy right away.





I'm working on almost no budget, so I expect updates to be really slow.

I am going to be painting all the bumpers white (He started the primer and did a really messy job, but it gives me a place to start) and the wheels hot pink.

That's all I have so far. Hopefully I'll get some updates soon!

Pics don't work so as of now, I have little hope for you to "stance out" this truck.

I'll try to upload the pictures again in a few minutes.
Edit: fixed.

And perhaps I won't be able to "stance" it, but it's my goal. I'm not going to drop a crazy amount of money on it anytime soon, I just don't like driving stock vehicles.

You're going to paint the wheels "hot pink"

[CraigSnedeker]

With no shame

[e.mury]

You "got busy" painting the chevy emblem? Why not actually give it some TLC? Interior looks groce.

[CraigSnedeker]

I spent about an hour cleaning up the interior after posting that, got some more to do but I need to drag the vacuum out. I also cleaned out the bed which was filled with dirt and leaves. I was going to install some tow hooks but left all the hardware for them in my old Blazer which got towed away Monday (oops...)

I also cleaned up all the lights from spray paint over-spray using a scrub pad and vegetable oil. I have my mom to thank for that suggestion!

This could be good... Now lower it please

My cousin's going after a lowering kit for me but if it's out of my price range it's going to have to wait until after I get a job and pay my insurance bill (not looking forward to that... being under 25 can suck sometimes).

I'm thinking about going with a 5/6" drop, this is the look I'm going for...






... simple and clean.

I would do more than spray paint a few little pieces of plastic before posting an "update" one here, people will give you shit about it.

You got good plans? s10's are always cool.

This. Some third gen GTA wheels or IROCs would look sweet.

[CraigSnedeker]

I'm planning for some GTA rims actually, if I can find some for a decent price. I can get four for around $550 on Craigslist right now. I feel like IROC's are better on lifted trucks though, just my opinion. I am going to decorate the inside with fabric and a little paint (while not overdoing it), get a bed cap and put a roof rack on it, and maybe a valance. I may even throw a intake in there. Then I may upgrade the audio system because it's kinda crappy at the moment.

In the meantime I have a lot of bodywork, painting, and general maintenance to do.

Just get springs and blocks, for a buck something you'll be 4 or 5 inches lower.

There is a huge difference between "low budget" and "no budget." And I'm painting the wheels pink because I want too paint them pink. And I am going to clean up the truck, don't worry. It needs a LOT of work and I have plenty of time.
