Haha thanks! I thought it was fitting. And I know, I can't wait to drive it! I thought I'd be chomping at the bit here toward the end, but I've actually been fighting a lack of motivation. Idk why, but it has seemed like such a chore to go down to the garage recently

@@CheekyGarage I appreciate you guys letting me know the Dakota digital dash for the S 10 is they ridiculous look good thing I went through your comments before I went out and spent $600-$800 on a BS alarm clock LOL but what you did with all the customizing it’s just too much work for me and my son considering I am blind and he doesn’t know too much about the auto industry yet but I am slowly but surely getting him there LOL THANKS AGAIN !!!

Thanks!!🙏🏼

Thanks! Glad I could help

Hey quick question what type of steering wheel is looks really good

Thank you! 🙏🏼 And if "perfectly" means slower than Christmas, then yes it's coming along perfectly lol

@@CheekyGarage my second gen is moving slowly as well. Motivation is scarce with a new baby but it'll get there. This truck makes me miss the square bodies I've had in the past alot. Been following along for a while now. Keep at it sir 👍

@@jsnyder95 Congrats on the addition!!! That's a pretty good excuse! Idk why it's been such a chore for me to get fired up about this thing recently

If you went from analog to digital how much modifying did you have to do? Did it all just plug-in to the new digital dash you installed or did you have to convert from analog to electrical? I want to do it to my 91S 10 but I have analog and not sure how we go about with it I don’t know if the wires from analog plug right into the digital or if you have to have a background in electrical engineering

@@chadjay828 this is how I did it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5Zno7aDls-pd4E.html

Check out NVU gauges out of Detroit. Direct Fit kit and more style options..

@@throttleblip1 thanks for letting me know about that place I live just outside of Detroit so I could go directly to them again thanks I really appreciate it

I only have OBD2 because of my LS swap. You don't need to run BIM module. The DD gauges come with all the needed sending units. And the earlier first gens would be a lot easier to put attractive gauges in I'd imagine, since they already have round gauges

You mean the digital dash Dakota digital offers for the S 10 is hideous? I was going to put one in my 91S 10 but if it looks hideous I’m not going to waste the $800 they want for it got me up at 600 either way that’s a lot of money for a hideous digital dash LOL sorry it was supposed to say $800 for a digital dash😆

I promise you I spent more time walking away from this thing than I did working on it lol. The silver lining is once you start cutting it up, you gotta finish

@@CheekyGarage hahaha I am sure I know I would not be able to I would end up walking away disgusted and would not come back to it

I can only guess that any of the 88-94 fullsize gauges could fit, but I don't know for sure. What I do know is the VHX gauges will work

That's actually a really good idea! I might have to take a 12v drill battery with me to the junkyard soon. Thanks!

I'm really interested to know what vehicle the chime came from. A lot of gm chimes through the radio to the driver door speaker

@@alienuser6918 check the junk yard, should be around the same build period, so late 80s and 90s. The alarm centre (the unit) looks the same, but might have another colour f.i.

Ewwwww 2nd gen

It’s called Dakota digital just a heads up they are pricey but you can get digital dash is through Summit racing jegs and basically anywhere that sells performance parts for vehicles but Dakota digital has their own website

hey man theres alot out there, i didnt buy someones project s10, if you like audio or want to have bass in your truck i would reccomend a 1991 s10 kingcab or extended cab truck thats what i have

@@akfo7691 definitely agree with you I have a 91S 10 extended cab on competition airbags I’m about to get the 4.3 L supercharged that they put in the 91 cyclones

They’re not too hard to find but honestly you’re going to have to put work into it first and foremost it’s most likely going to have a lot of miles on it so you’re going to need the motor rebuilt but as far as any body damage your young it’s definitely a good vehicle to start out with there’s plenty of videos on KZfaq that could help you fix it up I have a 91 Chevy S 10 extended cab with competition airbags they’re definitely sweet ass trucks and honestly $2500 is a good amount to find an S 10 with I got mine for a steel I paid 4500 but it had the competition airbags already on it custom paint job and the bed of the truck was rhino coated but like I said it’s definitely a great vehicle for your first one as long as you’re not afraid to do some work there’s so much aftermarket parts out there for them your options are basically endless also I forgot to say it came with 18 inch rims to GOOD LUCK Finding one just be patient they are out there !!!

18x8 4.5"BS fronts, and 18x9.5 5.25" BS rears. Keep in mind I have a narrowed Ford 8.8 rear end that's still a little wider than stock

Oh that’s rt! I’ll have to rewatch that episode. I don’t suppose you remember the width on it. I’m planning on 8.8 swapping mine as well. Thanks again. Enjoying the content.

@@mikewhiteaker7159 I don't have a video on the 8.8 specifically. I did it a few years ago before the channel. I don't remember exactly how wide it is, but it's just a stock Explorer 8.8 narrowed to run two short-side shafts.
