Mine was an '85 S-10 I bought in college to rest the Dart from the 170 mile drive back and forth to school. It was a standard cab long wheelbase with a 2.8 wheezebox and a bent frame. It looked good when I bought it, but it tracked like a sleepy hound dog, smoked like a chimney and took 2 acres to turn right. I think it had at least 1 collapsed ring because it eventually started smoking so bad, I stuck a garden hose in the valve cover vent and ran it back to the rear bumper just so I could see. Every time I put my arm up on the back of the seat, I thought I was going to break the rear window. I tried to swap in some bucket seats from an Escort, but they were too BIG! Man that thing sucked, it was cramped, it ran like crap, but at least it was ugly. I sold it to a guy who wanted the frame for a kit car, he said he didn't care if it was bent. I think I sold the whole truck to him for $150.
