Can some one please point me in the direction for help with mini trucks (s10, hard bodies, sonoma)? I plan on buying one and need help with getting parts, and reading up on things, a website would be great, yes I love exriders with all my heart, but i need mini-truck info!

thanks, Joe

s dimes are probably the easiest of the bunch to build. Lots of bolt on stuff for them. If you want an easy build stay away from older toyotas 80's and down. Twistedminis.com is a good place to get some info.

Here's a picture of my new project. lowered it 3" so far. Good luck.

S-10s are the way to go as far as I'm concerned.

I have owned a both a
98 ford ranger 4x4
93 chevy s-10

Both where under 500$ vechiles.

The ranger the rear spring mounts where rotted off so I repaired. the vacuume actuator computer or something went for the 4x4. I drove it hard for about 6 months before the registration expired and I hooked a nos bottle to the engine while mid burnout.

THe s-10 I just stoped driving after 7 months or so because of the expired registration. This was another one rugged truck. Tranny ended up loosing 1st and 2nd gear about 3 weeks ago. But I have to give this truck credit, I bought it for 150 and jumped it, did burnouts, brakestands, drove off road beating the pisser out of it without spending a dime on it for 7 months.

I like the Nissan pickups. Bulletsides and Hardbodies are easy to work on, customize and cheap to get parts for.
NissanCustoms.com has tons of info on repairs and customization. They helped me alot on my last build.
