Thank you Gents.
i have done several upgrades to this rig.
I posted on the S10 forum... i have 8 S10 (!!) I entered it as a project and got some good feedback.

Anyway, i replaced the 14” wheels/tires with 7x16 Isuzu units, and Z rated 225/60 -16 rubber bands,
replaced both tail lights with new units - old ones were pretty beat.
I did the usual Weber conversion - HUGE difference
Deleted the “Jet” valves since it was using oil and making pretty good clouds.
i bought a header and had it ceramic plated, then to a 2.5” headpipe, reduced to. 2.25” free flow cat, then a 2.25” over axle tail pipe hidden from the public.
i just bought an OEM “sport” steering wheel - 3 spoke and not cheap, converted headlights to LED and have an Android 10 radio which i will install hidden from view.
oh, this truck has original paint!!
i also flushed the radiator, oil change and rtransmission change, rear end was good.
i’m lookiing for a KM123 5 speed for the narrow 2.0 block too. The current 4 speed has noisy input bearings.
im going to have the bench seat recovered, i was going to go with buckets, but a bench is cool too.
A PO had the seat re covered in the past - they used the cheapest material they could fined and it already hatched. Ill have cloth inserts instead of the vinyl rubbish.
i have lots of pix, its a real PIA to post them... but ill try anyway.
Small update for now.
