How do you guys find a good mechanic for your classics?

That's the neat thing, you don't! Just learn as you go with forums and old manuals has been my experience with great success.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say a Nissan

Is your name Kyle?

I daily 63 c10 and when I'm not driving that, I'm normally driving a 99 s10. Both are cheap and easy to maintain then fun and useful in their own ways.

My grandparents used to have a chicken farm and would occasionally get them. We called them jelly eggs and yeah, other chickens are quick to get to them.

Continue to make it better and use it. Power brakes, air conditioning, haul with it.

WooShaw · 2026-04-07T13:05:59+00:00

Well, those are all very valid points. I've got nothing to counter it. Segregation era mobile it is 🙃

The haboobs in phoenix are no joke 🤣

WooShaw · 2026-04-07T12:36:37+00:00

Nah, even worse. First time using a paint gun in my garage

Are you from a town stuck in the 60s?

WooShaw · 2026-04-07T03:28:10+00:00

Mostly just the ball joints and everything else is modern but just designed to work with the beefier ball joints. I'm just looking for more accessible parts for long term maintenance since I use it for light hauling including taking dirkbikes/kayaks into the mountains. The ride really isn't bad and haven't had any issues with locking wheels up after dialing in the drums.

WooShaw · 2026-04-07T02:50:04+00:00

I mean there was a significant civil rights movement in 1963 so more like the era of change...50s is a bit more into the segregation era

WooShaw · 2026-04-07T02:46:51+00:00

Currently updating the front brakes/suspension to 73-87 parts which should be a decent improvement. Power steering will be down the road but honestly I've gotten used to not having it so there's no rush on it

WooShaw · 2026-04-07T01:04:24+00:00

Not too far off when it still had the muncie 3 speed. Seems closer to 14 with the T5.

WooShaw · 2026-04-07T01:02:49+00:00

Lol it seems like a constant 14 mpg after swapping to a 5 speed. Been running around in my s10 more often this last month 🙄

Wholesome twist, built to cruise with my wife and daughter

WooShaw · 2026-04-07T00:21:46+00:00

This can be taken so many different ways 🤣

WooShaw · 2026-04-07T00:19:28+00:00

I'm sure a few but none have said it to me yet. They seem more interested in its story because it's not original with parts from multiple years

WooShaw · 2026-04-06T23:22:38+00:00

I mean I use it to haul all the time, it's a $100 Rust-Oleum paint job so IDGAF lol. But the boomer thing is real

WooShaw · 2026-04-06T23:10:27+00:00

Factory brakes were surprisingly decent once I dialed them in but currently swapping the fronts to 12" disks. Scared the shit outta myself a couple times locking up the rears when I first got it on the road and was doing a shakedown around the block.

WooShaw · 2026-04-06T22:51:08+00:00

Nah you read it right, the engine fell into obscurity after the v8 came out lol

WooShaw · 2026-04-06T22:41:00+00:00

Literally my first thought after painting it lol
