My new Hooptie - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Warrens69GMC** · 06-30-2021, 12:58 AM

So you may remember my old S15

**Warrens69GMC** · 06-30-2021, 12:59 AM

I sold it around 5 years ago, and have wanted another.

Welcome the new Hooptie!!

Both are/were 2.5L/5speeds

Grizz1963 · 06-30-2021, 03:59 AM

Liking that.

The beige of the old one really appeals to me as well.

**Warrens69GMC** · 06-30-2021, 10:08 AM

I'm going to have the new one painted in Beige/tan/sand like the last one.

This one will get a V8 and overdrive transmission.

Just call me Sean · 06-30-2021, 01:10 PM

They are fun little trucks. Like driving a go-cart. I'm sure you'll go through tires with a V8.

**Warrens69GMC** · 07-01-2021, 06:39 AM

I just can't see spending money for a swap for a 3.4 v6...

Just call me Sean · 07-01-2021, 01:02 PM

Mine has the 4.3, plenty of power for my little go-cart. I did put a 3.1 from a Trans Am in my old one though. It had the 2.8 boat anchor.

**Warrens69GMC** · 08-26-2021, 11:02 PM

So I ordered some material to recover the seat-

and I received -

Grizz1963 · 08-27-2021, 06:58 AM

Nice material.

**Warrens69GMC** · 10-23-2021, 01:16 AM

So thing are moving along, I found a bed in a salvage yard that is 95% plus nice, mine is beat to crap and has a 16x16 hole cut into the bed for fuel pump access

This one had a camper shell on it for a long time, probably since new, the inside bed is that nice.

So this is 150.00

**Warrens69GMC** · 10-23-2021, 01:20 AM

And I'm on my way to get some of these parts, namely the door and front fenders.

Complete doors for 100/ea, is a good deal

Grizz1963 · 10-23-2021, 05:07 AM

Money well spent.

New bed is cheap.

I still think that pensioner hearing aid beige is one of the coolest colours/colors.

You guys have so much access to parts, here in the UK, zero.

I would love a tow bar for my S10 but unobtainable.

**Warrens69GMC** · 10-23-2021, 10:24 PM

Was able to get everything .

Bed

**Warrens69GMC** · 10-23-2021, 10:26 PM

Compare to the old

Grizz1963 · 11-02-2021, 03:08 AM

Those parts were such a win.

Looking good.

If you were closer I'd make you a deal on them. I plan (at this time) to run these wheels ...

Grizz1963 · 12-06-2021, 04:24 AM

Still love your truck.

Nice modifications you are bringing along.

Tank is huge.

Wheels look tidy.

SCOTI · 01-14-2022, 06:38 PM

Any updates?

**Warrens69GMC** · 11-03-2021, 09:30 PM

Ever thank for the blessing of extra work? Sometimes I am thankful.....

**Warrens69GMC** · 11-03-2021, 09:33 PM

It looks like it has the original 13 gallon gas tank.....

20 gallon replacement......

Just call me Sean · 11-03-2021, 11:26 PM

I don't remember welding your exhaust.
