Here are two of the best shots of the S10. On the way to the scrap yard and just the frame! The amount of mud and rust was incredible. I used a power washer on the frame just to make sure there wasn't any suprises.
Finally with the GMC in the shop I started to evaluate/disassemble. Bed turned out to be not usable. Fenders were not too bad but the front and sides had been welded to a "bed liner" made from 1/8" steel. It took 6 cut-off wheels to free it up. Couldn't use a torch since there was still wood in the bed
Cab had the usual rust: both floorboards and a little of the toeboards, both interior cowl pieces will need to be replaced but only the passenger side outer cowl (about 3-4" on the bottom) and a hole about 4' behind the gas tank on the back of the cab. So all in all, not too bad.
The best tool I have at this point in time is my trusty 4 1/2" grinder and several 10 packs of cut-off wheels from Harbor Freight. Every single nut and bolt is rusted/seized. I've tried several different rust penatrators and a mechanic friend gave me a can of GT-85 which seems to work the best but otherwise I either snap the bolt or cut it off. What a slow process!
