I don't have pictures right now (buried in a shed but I should have some this weekend) but is there any interest in a manual transmission 4-cylinder 2wd S10 with the third door? It was my daily driver until a few years ago when the slow leak in the radiator turned into a big one and I overheated the engine badly enough that water poured in the radiator came out the tailpipe. 

Nearly rust free, just a few dings and such, and I have a ton of parts I gathered up to swap in a 4.8l truck motor with a 5-speed from a v-6 S10 including an extra engine wiring harness,  tilt column, 4wd blazer disc brake rear end, C5 Corvette wagon wheels and spacers, and a ton more.  I have an older 2.2 with a slightly different intake and head or your choice of probably half a dozen 4.3s or a rebuilt goodwrench 2.8L available with the truck as well.

I also have a tow bar that comes with if you want and with the driveshaft disconnected it flat tows very well so you won't even need a trailer to get it home behind the family minivan. I'm willing to meet anywhere within 600 miles of 57223 for $0.50 a mile on a Saturday. 

Looking for $800 as it sits with just a complete truck needing an engine and radiator but your best deal would include a lot of the extra parts for ridiculously low prices. Low as in everything you would need except maybe a radiator and exhaust for a 4.8L 5-speed challenge S10 including the headers, mounts, clutch, 4 wheel disc, corvette 17/18" wheels, programmed ecm, and delivery for enough under budget to be able to finish with minimal creativity. 

I don't have the time myself, but if you can follow one of the best documented swaps around an have a few tools and some free weekends this summer you could drive this in from anywhere and be reasonably competitive.

Also,  if it makes a difference to anyone, I just remembered that I have a 4wd S10 frame that should fit under this body that was disassembled and powder coated black.  If someone wants it and all the parts that I got to put it back together, most also powder coated, I will throw it all in free with the truck.

I would also take either a Camaro or Mustang T56 in trade, or maybe even a truck 2wd NV5600 for behind the 440 in my truck or Tremec 3260 from the 4-cylinder Cadillac ATS or Camaro for an Opel project. Actually, pretty much any configuration of running LTG engine (ATS, CTS, Malibu, Regal, Envision, Camaro, Equinox, Traverse,  etc) and I will even bring cash to the party to make it happen if you know of or can find a wrecked donor car.

I like the idea of this far too much, but I already have both of my vehicles in various states of sketchiness and disrepair sadly. Unless you’re interested in a 2000 blazer or an e36 lol
