5.3 LS with a ratchet shifter could be good. Bet you could find one real cheap at a junk yard.

[@chud327]

I have actually been watching KZbinr going and explaining how the find great engines. This is a very possible option... Especially on 1/2 day. Thanks for watching!!

[@JVaughn344]

Alright...been looking for another S10 video..👍👍

[@chud327]

Hope to have another soon and thanks for watching!!

Hey Chud. I’m from Ontario. I just got my 1987 single cab long box on the road. It’s the 2.8L 5 speed manual. I spent a total $4000 cad even on it so $2900 usd. I am loving it. Seeing you do yours made me want to do my own

[@chud327]

That is super cool!! Hope to have the red one going soon. Thanks for watching and good luck with yours!!

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

LIKE THAT YOU ARE PUTTING THE PARTS PRICES IN THE VID. GIVES US AN IDEA OF WHAT IT REALLY COST.

[@chud327]

Yeah I like to know what it would cost and figured everyone else would to. Unless you are on of the shows with unlimited funds ... Thanks so much for watching!!

[@jonhawkins6099]

I think you should do a carbureted sbc and a 5 speed manual that would be sweet!!

[@ScottWM54]

4 speed manual would be awfully fun in that light truck with a big V8.......

[@chud327]

Very true, I would go for that... thanks for watching.

[@JesseHarjala]

You got one more sub today. Digging your videos. Clear, simple, to the point. Lovin' it.

[@chud327]

Thanks so much and I love hearing that!!! Thanks for watching.

[@CalebOrvik]

If you can find a cheap small block 305 it would really match the truck, smooth build so far tho

[@chud327]

I would consider if it was good running for cheap. Not really wanting it to be super fast. Mostly looking for that lovely V8 sound. Thanks for watching!!

[@BlueEmberDarkHorse]

I love old S10s and S15s Blazers and Jimmys!....keep the videos of these classic trucks alive!...I love em!!!

I like the 5 speed manuals , but it's your truck, do what you want.

[@chud327]

5 or 6 speed would be sick if I could find a good deal... We will see and thanks for watching!!

Love the s 10 my favorite truck 😊

[@chud327]

I love them too, explains my addiction I guess... Thanks for watching!!

[@ClintsStreetMachines]

That thing is cleaning up real nice. You've got the exact rear bumper I'm needing for my truck! Great job of sticking to a budget, something I have a hard time doing. Thanks for the update, can't wait to se what engine you end up with. Amber bulbs imo.

[@chud327]

Luckily the bumper came with it. I am loving the look, wish the front fender was not dented and bed floor could have less rust. Hope I can continue with the good budget and be cheaper than the one before it... I think amber is the way to go too. Thanks for watching!!

[@rongarrett1366]

I had a red Ranger with five on the floor and a bench seat. Put a lot of miles on it. Drove it from northern Indiana to Florida to visit my grandparents.

[@chud327]

Thanks, I had my eye on them, when they came up available I jumped on them and worked out a trade. Can't wait to cruise around in them. Thanks for watching!!

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

For the engine & trans; I'd go for a 350 5 speed, but like you said, whatever's the best deal & the bumper lights; I think clear lenses with amber bulbs.

[@chud327]

350/5 speed would be perfect . I agree on the amber lights. Thanks for watching!!

[@SteveM-426]

Love those S-10 Builds! You Turn Trash into Treasure! Awesome Video! My Vote for Motor and Trans, 350 motor / 350 or 400 Auto Trans. But like you say, The Best Deal Wins.

[@chud327]

Perfectly said and thanks for watching!!

[@HSTvids357]

Those nv3500's aren't going to power shift and yank the front tires on slicks, but I've seen a couple survive for years behind 400ish and below hp small blocks on street tires. It would be fun, and give you overdrive for the highway.

[@chud327]

I had on in a 4x4 blazer. When going from first to second, all tire speed would be lost... I don't want that again. Thanks for watching!!

[@HSTvids357]

@chud327 that's fair, I don't know how the s10 ones are geared. I think these were both from half ton trucks. I have 2 spare Saginaw 4 speeds laying around, maybe I need to go manual too. About to start working on mine again after several years.

[@chud327]

@@HSTvids357 very cool, that thing needs to run!!

[@celiacasson2169]

454 big block with ratchet shifter also dual exhaust out the back of the truck the truck would have a nice rumble

[@chud327]

Yes it would and thanks for watching!!

[@nrgtwinz95]

100 for the tires! That's crazy had a hard time finding some for mine.

[@chud327]

I was shocked someone didn't beat me to them. Can't decide if I like red's or the ones on Charles better. Call it a tie for now.

[@David-82]

4/5 speed manual would be the be the most fun. If this is a project you intend to sell LS style 4.8 auto

[@chud327]

I like the 4.8 and 5.3. is there a reason you would pick 4.8 over 5.3? Thanks for watching!!

I want to do an exhaust cutout possibly with some kind of boomtube sticking out the side. But also have a complete exhaust all the way to the back for semi stealth mode. Thanks for watching!!

[@87speedshop27]

5.3 LS would be good reliable power. Use that NV3500 behind it and it would be a fun little truck

[@chud327]

I like the way you think, plus 5.3 = 327, which is a very cool number!! Thanks for watching!!

[@zalmanfans1334]

A big block 454 outta do it would be sick in this s10

[@chud327]

Very true and thanks for watching!!

[@normhowes2975]

Tho not a S10 I did a 85 Monty. Ignore the 2 1/2" duals exhausting the 350 with many GM factory hi-po parts like 72 Corvette forged pistons, 65 Nova SS cam, 69 Z28 valve springs, late 60s camel hump heads and a few other goodies / secret operations. I left the 4.3 tag on the deck lid. A dog off the line with it's 2.21 gears. Had $2000 in it. Surprised many top $$ cars on the highway.~grinz~

old school sbc and a 4 or 5 speed would be cool

[@chud327]

Just bought an old school 350 two days ago now debating on what transmission. Thanks for watching!!

[@KnuckleHeadGarage27]

Yeah I'd say old school v8 and automatic. What type of old school v8 is the question and stock or would you add a mild cam and small stuff like intake and carb I wanna do that to my 85 S10 , currently looking for a V8 drivetrain myself old school style 305 or 350

[@chud327]

Old school would be easier, fuel injection would be nice. Some how need best of both worlds. Would love a little cam, but just so I can sit and listen to it. Ideally I would love a 327 for the channel, but currently have my eyes on a 350. Automatic would be the easy way, but would love to shift some gears. Only time will tell, and hopefully it will tell soon. thanks for watching and good luck with yours.

[@redneckbryon]

The S10 in the junkyard in this video, is that the same one you took the transmission from, for the Jeep?? How about Go Diesel, make it Roll Coal Go 5-Speed Something General Motors never did, but there are a few out there, make this truck a Dually S10.

[@chud327]

That is the same S-10 that jeep got it transmission from. Cool that you watched the jeep video too. I have actually been thinking on trying to grab a diesel for it. I am not sure on the dually parts, but everything else is mind-reader stuff. Thanks for watching!!

[@redneckbryon]

​@chud327 Always cool to make something different.

[@davidanglin3358]

If you were to take the carpet out and hang it up, and pressure wash it and then die it whatever color you want, it’d probably look good and save you money.

[@chud327]

That is a great idea, too bad there are holes worn through the driver's side... Thanks for watching!!

[@davidanglin3358]

@@chud327 a good set of floor mats would hide the holes at least long enough for you to find a replacement one.

[@jerryb1234]

If your going to put a v8 in it, then it's gotta have a manual transmission, unless you're just old and tired of living, then I can see maybe putting a automatic in it,🙄, but me-myself, I'd rather cross the finish-line sliding sideways with my hair blown back,😉👍, lol, thanks for sharing.

[@chud327]

You make a great argument for the manual!! Thanks for watching!!

[@Zack-smith]

I would do a turbo 4.3 or a 355 in it reason I said a 4.3 turbo is you can make your own version of a cyclone since they was ultimately s10s

[@chud327]

if it were a 4x4 a cyclone clone would be very cool... I have a 350 that has probably been rebuild so 355 is about exactly what I plan to do. Hope to start the build soon and thanks for watching.
