1984 S-10 Durango. WILL IT RUN? Give Away Truck?

Alrighty folks! For over a year now I've been wanting to come across a little truck that we could fix up on the channel to give away! Well as soon as I seen this one I knew that it has the potential to be a good little truck. Of course a large part of that depends on if it runs and how well it runs. Let's see if we found a winner or a dud! We appreciate the constant support and I hope you guys enjoy the video!

Anything you can drive home from the boneyard is a keeper. Nice little pick up.

[@richardbates2367]

Must have been how I thought in highschool by the time I was 19 I had 6 cars,2 Chevy regular cab short bed 2wd Chevy S10 trucks a 89 el, and a 88 Tahoe, and three 79 chevy k20 and c20 trucks, not counting the c20 78 Chevy truck I was driving lol

[@bobtucker8875]

That is a great little truck. I've had a few of them, but not a one with a V 6. Who ever gets that truck is really lucky 😳. Great content guys thanks for sharing.

[@junek8031]

That's awesome that yall are doing the giveaway! I never miss a sleeper dude or a puddin video you're both great! And congratulations to Hank on graduating!

[@duellregan7026]

I’d love to have an older s10. Learned how to drive a manual with one my dad had.

[@aronhoward919]

Love those rigs,got a 93 S10 Blazer 4.3. had it for years!!!! Awesome about helping the trade school too!

[@dustwagon]

Congratulations Hank!

[@stevenhallsworth5839]

Love the giveaway your doing with the truck and the hard work you and the people donating towards the fixing up. Wha a great heart you've got my friend. Well done top man. You are amazing.

[@shawnbystrom7265]

Iv had every gen 1 S10 but the Durango 😮 Tahoe was my highschool sweetheart

[@dragonslayer19695]

You should make one of the conditions for the winner, must be a subscriber. It's a nice looking truck. A Giant Bonus that you could drive it from the scrap yard.

[@Scrapy-ih7ob]

Those S-10 great little trucks, only issue with them was. up north the>>> SALT

[@johnd21]

What a great truck to giveaway. Had one identical to it but with a ugly topper on it. Great idea and thanks to the you and the sponsors for doin something awesome like this!

[@carltable5084]

That is the coolest truck to bring home. I had an 88 s10 as my first car. I'd trade one of my kids for that thing. Just kidding. Great pick puddin

[@aaronhunt1616]

The tire change music video was awesome

[@CaneAtvse]

If you think that was a hard spark plug change go find you a 97 ranger with the 2.3 4 banger... surprised me to find out it has 2 spark plugs per cylinder... I only bought 4 plugs because that's normal then wondered why there was 4 extra plug wires on the opposite side of the block and the way the intake manifold is on em its almost like the same manifold style as the 5.0 that loops back over on top of the block... and you've got just enough room to barely fit your fingers down in there and good luck finding the hole especially without an extension on your ratchet it's really hard....

[@adamcarfield7201]

It's a Chevy of course it'll run buddy

[@jameschism1457]

My number one question is why in the world was this truck in the salvage yard to begin with? This truck is way too sweet to have been discarded like that. Love your videos!

[@phillypharmer]

I thought the same thing.

[@timgibson2070]

Exactly!

[@OldManHonken]

It's a great looking truck as it sits. The cragars actually even look appropriate.

[@SBG_BirdDawg]

Exactly what I was thinking. Those cragars look good on there. About 3” lower and oowee baby.

[@KameraShy]

That is exactly what I was thinking. Look perfect on that vehicle, with the color.

[@That70sChannel]

Yeah, I second the Craigers.

[@papawheelie5835]

First of all, congratulations Hank on your graduation! Second, love the truck, man what a survivor it is to be in such great condition after a long stay in the boneyard!

[@wildfamilyfun]

Puddin’ you could have totally edited out oil bit, and most people probably would have. That’s the honesty in this channel. Which has found me watching all of what both channels offer. I love it man. It feels good to see .

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

I agree 💯 people will know trust me 😂😂😂 and they will call you out on it 😊

[@georgekoch1305]

I have a good gate for your S10 and a hood if you’re interested let me no. Off a 83 S 10 no rust.😊

[@KotheJ1]

It’s great to see you giving support to the kids to go to trade school. The trades will give them opportunities to support their families, dirty hands and clean money did well for me. Looks like it’s doing well for you and your family. God Bless all y’all and keep the great content coming. Love the second channel and the more relaxed and fun stuff you’re doing.

[@captain92morgan68]

Watched your interview with Derek today, awesome job. Hope you get a ton of new folks coming to the channel.

this is why people love puddin: he shows stuff like forgetting to put the oil in the engine. it would have been super easy for him say in the video "my camera died but trust me i put in the oil" but he's not afraid to show mistakes.

[@glasspacksbottlejacks6911]

Thanks for promoting trades! I am a high school welding technology instructor and I am glad to see someone like you promoting scholarships towards kids getting into the trades. Keep up the good work puddin!

Clearly derek is an avid viewer of "poodans fab shop". Nice job casually correcting him and powering through. You are the best puddin! Love the videos

[@Shield.148]

You and your family are good people Puddin! This country needs more scholarships for trade schools! Nice work on that truck!

[@joekarl6576]

Puddin. You are truly one amazing person. Not only are your videos full of learning full of humor (I laughed out loud many times during this video) but we get to see that there are really good people out there which is what we all need. I love the collaborations the heart l felt moments etc. your an inspiration my brother. Thank you and the fam so much for your time!!!

[@DreamBig1919]

Wow, Puddin! I'm in the process getting my grandfather's S10 back on the road. It's been sitting since 2008; grandpa had put a new motor in it before he passed. Great content, as usual!

They actually are good little trucks. I had a Blazer and friend of mine older than me had a S10 4 x 4 pick up. Both of them had the body like this one on this episode. Great that you are keeping your family history going by getting your grandpa's truck back on the road.

[@daniellawrence2236]

I am also rebuilding/restoring a 1985 reg cab, short bed bought new by my uncle and given to me as a graduation present in 2001, which has been sitting since around '07/'08.

It's funny how we both live in the same town and I drive by the place with some of the vehicles you have on the channel almost every day! Nice to see you saving these vehicles from the graveyard!

[@savannahgilliam1832]

My dad lost his uncle within the last year. His uncle had a truck almost identical to this S10 that he always wanted. He watches your videos all of time and really enjoys them. He mentioned that you name your vehicles and we were wondering if you would name this one Dale or Uncle in honor of his uncle that past away. Thanks for considering it!

[@wh1zz_b4ng]

This is such a great idea and I’m stoked to watch it come together. Huge congrats on the personal and professional growth of yourself and your channel.

I saw your O'Reilly's interview with Derek earlier, it was really great 👍 I hadn't 87 s15 Jimmy I bought new with a 2.8, it ran for 250 something thousand miles.

[@kylew.4720]

In high school my history teacher offered his old truck to the class. I was the only person who was interested. It was a 93 red sle Sonoma. It also had the 2.8 with a 5speed. I picked it up for a hundred bucks! Once gone over and fix up. I drove that truck from cape cod to daytona beach on a permit license. I drove her till after I got married and grew the family. Had to up size. That little truck drove us everywhere. Good stuff there puddin. Your interview went well too good job! Thanks Mr. Scott Crocker for those great memories in that truck.

I brought back a 1991 chevy 1500 short bed std cab 350 5 speed. When I got it running and driving, the horn did the exact same thing. Everyone thought I was happy to be driving it and doing doughnuts while honking. I think it was the truck happy to be driving again.

It’s great to know you give back to the community!! Keep on doing what you do.

Sometimes it sucks being in Australia, especially with a sweet give away truck like that S10, I would drive the wheels off that, its perfectly my style. Great ep as always Puddin love your content and builds.

[@TowMan127]

Dude AWESOME score! Can’t wait to see what you do with this! The 1st generation S10 is my all time favorite truck. I had one when I was a teenager and never got a chance to do anything with it cause I was too busy working. Hope to get one in the future.

[@Greg_Gatsby]

Yep, it’s the square body of S-10’s. I had a ‘98 Gen2 until a semi totaled it.

[@TowMan127]

@@Greg_Gatsby damn that sucks! I had an 88 S10 long bed. I bought a K5 blazer for the engine and transmission to put in the S10 but I was young and didn’t have the space or time. Man I wish I could get my hands on another one but people out here want $6500 and up for beat up ones.

[@metatechhd]

🚛👍🔥 You've got yourself a keeper there! It's a fantastic-looking truck straight from the boneyard. The way it sits is just perfect, and those cragars add a cool touch. Can't wait to see if it runs and what plans you have for it. The anticipation is real! Keep up the great work and keep us updated. This giveaway truck might turn into something truly special. 🚀🔧💬

The ol', "Camera died" (while Puddin calls AAA to come get it runnin) trick. Classic!

The old school trick for removing an oil filter is to use an oil filter wrench.

That S-10 has a mystery?! Why was it even there at the junkyard. Previous owner was stumped I guess on the troubleshooting? The first generation S-10's were the best. The 2nd gens were just weird looking. Wow a Pioneer stereo deck too, and the V6!!!! Wooooo Hooooo!!! Great job on the troubleshooting, tests, and start, and run and drive!

[@taiguy4961]

Nothing like a first get S-10. Between the body lines, the pin stripes and them classic wheels with the white walls. That’s one sweet rig. Got a second gen with more rusty weight reduction than a fish bucket and the bed is splitting but she runs sweet (when it’s not randomly dying) and the 5speed is fun. Still not quite as cool though as the squares. Cool rig. Durango lol

[@mjc8248]

Once you pull all the antique emissions equipment off there's actually room under the hood. Those air injection tubes are always in the way. Both of my 84s are 2.8l and other than being slow and loud they are dependable. My two tone Durango was full old man spec while that one is more work spec with the vinyl seat.
