pictures of the truck? mileage on the chassis? tires good? what components were used in the motor? motor swapped in properly? it could be a great buy and then again it could be a nightmare lol

S10 with 350 swap = FUN! Ahahaha. My uncle has a '91 S10 with a 383 and it's a beast.

make sure all the mounts and cross members are correct I've seen them held in with chains and bunjie cords. and somehow it works.

I had one and they are a ton of fun. Body parts are cheap. I'd look for the quality of the installation, what tranny are they running and ask for receipts for the motor rebuild for validation of what he claims. Nobody I know builds a hot rod like this and doesn't keep some type of record.

Not a bad deal. Just make sure the swap was done cleanly. If not I wouldn't even bother...

Here's the v8 Dime we have...

Still a working process, but it's just a daily driver.

KXRida, are those the old Hooker headers that were multi-piece and go around the frame? You have to cut the wheelwells to install them? When I had mine those were the only headers available and I didn't like them too much. After I sold mine several companies started producing shorty headers that fit inside the frame rails.

Just depends on how clean of an install it is and how many glitches there are.
