1989 S-10, wrecked... Scrap or Repair?
I have a 123,000 mile 1989 S-10 extended cab, 4.3 automatic. Old City of Tulsa truck, with wheels from a camaro. It and my wife were involved in a 40 MPH collision noon saturday, and was wondering if I should bother fixing it, or should I roll it down to the boneyard and take the plates off, and spend the insurance money on something else? This was the Wife's truck, and she really (for some reason...) liked it. Fortunately, she is OK except for a bruised knee.
An uneducated inspection by your truly says it will need the passenger side front fender, the inner fender, front bumper, hood, grille, passenger side headlight, side marker and turn signals, possibly a radiator but I saw neither coolant nor A/C refrigerant leaking out. It will also need whatever the part is that the radiator/headlights/grille/etc is attached to. Frame appears to be straight, but the steering felt out of alignment on the short trip home.
Pictures to follow.
