Rebuilding a 1988 GMC S-15

back in 2011 my dad and i purchased a 1988 s 15 for 100.00 with a title. the truck had not been on the road in over 7 years. we had to obtain and engine and transmission with a new gas tank. we purchased another engine and transmission and gas tank from a guy on Craigslist. this process took us about 4 months to install the engine and transmission and painted. we also had the full exhaust system from the other s-10. the body of the truck was in decent condition the rust was really bad on the roof. the color we painted it was a blue metallic. i cleaned and sanded the engine compartment n painted that, the box had been removed and the frame was sanded and painted also. the front and rear bumpers were sanded and painted black irid old color we found in our paint collection. the truck turned out really nice. we ended up selling it for over 1600.00 cash. also we had new tires and cleaned up the rims also.the interior cleaned up really well also. new carpet installed also.

here is a time lapse video of our work on the s-15 plus other videos of it.
