New truck!

[Gearhead]

I might be getting a truck soon as a daily driver, as my stealth is in the process of being rebuilt and upgraded to race on road-courses. I also have a side job cutting grass and cant haul anything in my car. Anyway, I have two choices.
1: 1998 Doge V10 magnum 2500 extended cab. The engine is locked up but I can get a new one for cheap and it shouldn't take very long to replace.
2: 1995 Chevy S10 extreme. The engine is also locked on this one, but I have a 350 small block to replace it.

Get the Chevy since you already have a replacement engine.

If money is no issue to you, Get them both. If money is a problem, get the one that will cost you less money to fix.

I vote s10 just beacuse i love mine. The perfect truck IMHO easy to upgeade small and fast if you upgrade it right

They cost about the same, but the engine for the Magnum will be about $500 extra. I'm starting to lean towards the S10.

I wouldn't mess w/ the V10...they guzzle gas for not putting out that much power. The S10 will be faster, anyway w/ a SBC and cheaper to fix plus you already have the engine. However, having a full-size is nice. I have an 87 Chevy 4-speed longbed

9 to 4 so far for the S10. I also have a 460 big block I could use.

I would go with the S10. Agreed with Pwmin about the the V10 being a gas hog. Never owned nor have I worked on a V10, I would think that parts for it would be kinda hard to find. ( I Don't know).
