Decisions, Decisions .. please help

I have a 96 model S10 as my daily driver (which I rarely drive) My wife and I work at the same place, ride together, etc. We could get by with one car, no doubt. I live about 40-45 min away from my Dad's place where my truck is. About the only time I ever drive the S10 is going to Dad's to work on my 68.

I love old C10s. I am considering selling my S10, then buying a $3500-4k C10 and just getting it dependable, good solid 327 / auto, nothing wild. 3:08s for decent mileage. Drop it, some 338's or Coys .. etc.

My S10 is the cleanest one I have ever seen. 74k original miles, TT2's, all Belltech stuff, Billet pinion and carrier bearing alignment kit, SSBC brakes, Bilstien shocks. It rides and drives like a new one. Brand new NT555's on the front. Clean and straight, never hit. 4.3L 5Spd. the interior is clean, it has one small place on the driver's seat where the foam is wearing a little thin. I am afraid the S10 is going to be worth more 'to me' than I can probably get for it. I'd be in the $6500 range on it.

Should I just hang on to it or sell build a daily C10? Crappy cell pic below.

Wont hurt my feelings, .. just asking for opinions. The S10 will be better on gas, but not have the C10 feel if you know what I mean. V8 sound, dropped, etc. Help me out
